A mum woke up to the cries of her son after he was hit by a van on the way to a friend's house.
Yesterday evening Rachel Wilson, 42, from Knowsley, was woken up by a phone call from her son Marc as he lay on the road miles from their home. Marc, 23, had been walking to a friend's house at around 5pm when a white Ford Transit van hit him from behind, throwing him into the air before he landed on the van's windscreen.
The van then sped off, leaving behind a wingmirror Marc's falling body had broken off. Rachel had gone to bed early due to pain relating to medical conditions she suffers from, but said she "threw her boots on and ran out the house" to find her son.
