The desperate family of a 15-year-old boy injured in a hit-and-run on the Isle of Wight have released graphic pictures of his injuries in a plea to find the driver who fled the scene.
Teen Crushed in Cowes Collision
Police were called to Baring Road, Cowes, shortly after 3.30pm on Thursday, July 7, following reports that a small black car struck the teenager near the junction with Crossfield Avenue.
Italian visitor Carlo Bozzola suffered serious bruising and cuts to his face, arms, legs, and knees. Emergency services rushed him to hospital where he is receiving treatment.
