The father of a toddler who was left with serious injuries in a hit-and-run incident has said seeing his son this way was the “worst feeling” he ever had.
The child incurred the injuries when he ran onto the road while playing with a ball near Castle Meadows on the Skehard Road in Mahon in Cork city at about 4pm on Monday. He was hit by a blue Mazda 6 which left the scene. The driver has been urged to come forward. Gardai later found a car which matches the description and is being forensically examined.
“To see your child that way is the worst feeling I ever had in my life today. Special thanks to all our friends in Castlemeadows who went above and beyond.” “ I would ask people to come forward. I think the people involved in it should give themselves in to be honest. And I would also say to people if you have information, footage on your dashcam or on your phone please give that to the gardai.
Mr O’Leary the parents of the young boy are “appalled” that somebody would knock a child down and not “man up” and hand themselves in.
