A young Scottish girl has been told she may never walk properly again after suffering devastating injuries following a hit-and-run.

Alex Watson, 17, was hit by a dark SUV on Den Walk in Methil, Fife, on Saturday, January 14. She was on the phone to her younger sister Morgan, 14, who said she heard a thud as Alex crashed to the ground.

The car drove from the scene leaving Alex unconscious on the ground with her leg broken in two places. She was rushed to Ninewells hospital in Dundee where medics inserted a pin to repair the bones.
