Busy gathering evidence and CCTV footage …
… after a hit and run outside our home around 3am this morning, Sunday 24th May.
I’m appealing for the driver of a gloss black Mercedes to come forward, after crashing into my parked van on Highgate, Cleethorpes.
The vehicle was travelling at speed down Highgate towards St Peter’s Avenue, just before the mini roundabout, at the Thrunscoe Road junction.
The impact was so severe that my van was pushed onto the pavement, damaging and deflating the tyre on the opposite side.
I was alerted by neighbours and was absolutely devastated to see the damage.
I was due to travel to the Lake District tomorrow for a full week of work with a local children’s charity, but it now looks like my van will be out of action for some time.
There is a legal obligation to stop and provide details when damage or injury is caused in a motor accident.
If this is not possible, the incident must be reported to the police within 24 hours.
Penalties for not doing so include a fine, penalty points, driving disqualification, or up to six months’ imprisonment.
Please share this post.
I would be very grateful for any information, CCTV, dashcam footage or doorbell camera footage from the area around that time.
Thank you 🙏🏻
