It comes as a family of five were injured after being involved in a hit-and-run crash with a speeding driver in Sheffield on Friday evening.

A five-year-old boy also required hospital treatment following that incident and was ‘in and out of consciousness’ on Saturday, according to his mum.

Anyone with information about the Aston hit-and-run should call 101 and quote incident 783 of 18 September 2021.
