Mum condemns ‘animal’ who left toddler in street after hit-and-run

A Dundee mother is appealing for help to trace the “animal” who left her toddler lying in the street after a hit-and-run.

Robyn Sinclair said she hoped someone would come forward with information after two-year-old Kayden was hit by a car outside his gran’s garden in Glenconnor Drive.

The driver failed to stop and Kayden was taken to hospital with minor injuries, spending the night in Ninewells.

Back home with the tot, Robyn said: “I hope whoever did this comes forward. I would appeal for anyone with any information to get in touch.”

The accident happened at 10pm on Saturday after Kayden managed to leave the garden through a gate that had mistakenly been left open.

Robyn said: “Kayden is home and he is doing fine. He’s still in a bit of pain with a few bruises and grazes, but there is no damage internally and no bones broken. Thank goodness he’s a trooper.”

She said: “I’d just like to say to the animal who hit my son before speeding off, I hope the police find you.

“I understand accidents happen, especially on a road where kids are running about, but you could have had the decency to stop and make sure he was OK.

“If anyone hears anything or saw a grey car hitting something on Glenconnor Drive please get in touch.”

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “We received a report a two-year-old had been hit by a car on Glenconnor Drive around 10pm on Saturday.

“The car drove off and the boy was taken to Ninewells. Inquiries are ongoing. Anyone with information should call Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 4218.”
