Owen Wightman hit-and-run: Driver urged to come forward

Investigators are searching for a man who hit a little boy, at the age of 6. Owen Wightman lived in Kettlethorpe in Wakefield and was hit by a car in fishponds lane which is nearby Kettlethorpe. The driver instantly stopped and stepped out if his car to make sure that his care wasn’t damaged and immediately afterwards he drove away from Owen, as if nothing happened.  The police have CCTV images of the vehicle and they are convinced that their scientist will be able to identify the make and model of the vehicle. Therefore, they ask the driver (young white male) to come forward before they will arrest him.

I love children and I believe that they should be cherished and therefore I got really restless after I read this article. It always hurts me when I find out something terrible has happened to a child. An accident can always happen, it shouldn’t happen but it does. However, if you run away from something you caused then it becomes a crime, in my opinion. How sick can you be when you step out of the car and see if it is damaged and not care about a human life? You can get a new car but you can’t get a new Owen Wightman. We all should be more alert in traffic and not run away from our mistakes!
