A mum has hit out at a hit and run driver who flung her son into the windscreen of his own car almost two years ago.
Matthew Baker was on his way to McDonald's when his blue Renault Clio was hit by a David Hargreaves' Vauxhall Astra van at a red light on Bispham Road in Southport at around 11.30pm on Monday, June 14, 2021.
