Jessica Frew was left seriously injured after she was knocked to the ground by the driver of a silver Corsa as she crossed Cambusnethan Street in Wishaw at around 4.30pm on Friday, April 19.
The family of a Lanarkshire schoolgirl who was left for dead following a hit-and-run are tracking Vauxhall Corsa cars in a bid to trace the driver.
The Record reports that the motorist overtook stationary vehicles and sped through a red light before hitting the 12-year-old as she crossed the road on her return home from the park. Her family say they have now launched their "own investigation" into the crash after being "abandoned" by police. "We've decided to start doing our own investigation to try and get this driver traced and convicted. We haven't heard anything from police about any developments for some time now and we are feeling as though we have been abandoned and left in the dark about what is going on in terms of their investigation.
CCTV footage obtained by the family shows the wing mirror of the car snapping just moments before it hit the child. Dad Robert believes that the mirror, which was found tossed at the scene, could be a vital piece of evidence.He said: "I have been looking at silver Corsas coming and going out of the area and I am closely checking to see if they have been modified in any way which might show it once had a missing wing mirror.
