A cowardly man who hit a pedestrian and left him to die in the middle of the road in a shocking hit-a-run has been jailed.
Kyle Charlesworth, aged 28, from Furlong Road, Goldthorpe, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, has been jailed after he fled the scene of a crash in Leeds, leaving a pedestrian with fatal injuries. The 28-year-old was driving without a licence and insurance when he hit Paul Collins with his car and killed him.
The incident happened on October 4, 2021, in Leeds, when Kyle was behind the wheel of his Seat Ibiza that hit Paul Collins, a pedestrian. Charlesworth had driven off after failing to stop for the police that evening, travelling at more than twice the speed limit and driving dangerously, the court heard.
