A four year old girl has died following a hit-and-run in St Helens, Merseyside. Violet-Grace Youens was walking on Prescott Road with her grandmother, when they were struck by a stolen Ford Fiesta on Friday afternoon. CCTV shows two men leaving the scene of the crash shortly afterwards. Violets mother, Rebecca Youens, paid tribute to her daughter after she had died in hospital on Saturday from her injuries. In a Facebook post, Ms Youens wrote "Thank you for all your well wishes ... she was just too poorly." "However my Brave baby girl saved two lives by donating her kidneys and pancreas".
Toilet's Family say they hope the organ donations will "benefit other children and give them a chance to lead long and happy lives". Ms French (grandmother), remains in hospital, where she is in serious but stable condition. Merseyside police are appealing for information about the pair who ran away from the crash on foot, who were both white and aged between 15 and 20 years old.
I chose this story as it is tragic to see that something like this happens, where two completely innocent people, were the victims of reckless driving, the men should feel extremely guilty as they hit down a four year old girl and her grandmother, then ran away without facing up to what they had done.
