Uber driver 'could have been killed' after crash at 'dangerous' junction

An Uber driver's livelihood "has been ruined in one moment" after an alleged hit and run in Toxteth.

Osama Hamad was driving in the Princes Road area of Toxteth on August 17 when another car "ran straight into his side" at the roundabout on the junction of Bentley Road and Princes Gate East. Fortunately, the Uber driver was physically unhurt but left "shaken" after the incident and says the other driver "failed to stop."

He now faces an uncertain future as his car was classed as a "write off", leaving him unable to provide for his pregnant wife, Jodie, and disabled son short-term. Jodie told the ECHO the incident, which happened at around 10.30pm, has even left her husband debating getting a different job.
