A woman and a small child were badly hurt after a car crash in Leeds last month.
The accident happened on Friday, February 17 in Osmondthorpe Lane, Leeds. A Ford Focus and a Ford Transit recovery truck collided, leaving the woman and a young child with injuries.
Police say the driver of the Ford Transit drove away from the scene of the accident and drove down York Road, where he ditched the vehicle. The driver, a man, then fled the area.
West Yorkshire Police say the accident happened around 3.15pm. They have launched an investigation and released CCTV footage of a man who they want to speak to.
