The victim of a hit-and-run in Ellesmere is appealing to the public for information after he was left with life-changing injuries.
The collision happened on Elson Road on Saturday 24th January between 12.40am and 1.50am.

He underwent treatment for a brain bleed, punctured lung, and multiple fractures.
“Someone out there knows what happened to me"
The victim said: “This incident has completely turned my life upside down. I don’t remember much about what happened, but I do remember waking up in hospital terrified and in pain.
“I was treated for a bleed on the brain, a punctured lung, numerous fractured ribs, fractured bones in my neck and a number of bruises and scrapes. I’m still dealing with the impact every single day, both physically and emotionally, as well as financially as I have been unable to work.
“Someone out there knows what happened to me, and I’m asking please come forward. Whether you saw something, drove past, or have dashcam footage, even the smallest detail could help.
“I just want answers so I can understand how this happened and start to move forward with my life, and for someone to be held accountable for the consequences caused by their reckless driving.”
