Harvey will take years to recover from his injuries after being left with a bleed on his brain
A dad has launched a desperate plea after his teenage son was left for dead in a hit-and-run. Harvey Aitken, 16, was cycling in Tyseley in Birmingham when he was involved in the collision, leaving him with a bleed on the brain.
Now his dad Andrew has launched a public appeal for information, saying the incident has had a "profound impact on his life". West Midlands Police have launched an urgent investigation and are trying to identify two cars involved in the incident. Andrew said: "Harvey has suffered a severe brain trauma as a result of this hit-and-run and we have been told it will take up to two years for him to fully recover. When I received the phone call at 3am that morning my heart sank, it is every parent’s worst nightmare.
"We as his parents feared for his life and it has been such a battle for the family unit as a whole. I am appealing to anyone who saw or heard anything that night to please contact the police because the person responsible needs to be brought to justice. They left our 16-year-old son lying in the road for dead.
