To Help Him Because The Blood Would Upset Her Children
Inquisitr – Taron Stead, 17, a cyclist, was recently hit by car. The mother inside of the car that struck him told him that she could not stop to help him because the blood on him was too scary for her kids. Stead had just bought a new mountain bike that morning and was hit in the early morning traffic last Friday. He was left bruised and bloody by the side of the road. According to the Huffington Post, the male driver of the silver car that hit him stopped and a woman got out. The woman informed him she couldn’t help him because they were late getting their kids to school and the blood on his face would upset her children. The woman returned to the car without even asking if he was okay and the car drove away. “Taron said the woman in the car got out looked over at him, told him she had children in the car who were upset and she didn’t want them to be late for school, then the car drove off. I can’t believe anyone would leave an injured child at the side of the road after a crash, but it was rush hour and it would have been busy so I am hoping that witnesses come forward and help the police trace the driver. There is CCTV in the area too. I hope the driver and his passenger who drove off see Taron’s injuries and think about their actions. Fortunately he was wearing a helmet, or I dread to think what might have bloody happened,” said Naomi Pickard, 45, Taron’s mother. Staff members from Sheffield University, which is close to where Stead got hit, found the teen and called paramedics, reports the Star. Pickard says that staff at their local Halfords were so “horrified” by what happened to Stead that they want to repair his bike for free.
