Mum Horrified as Schoolgirl Left ‘Black and Blue’ in Hit-and-Run Incident

Stockton: A 12-year-old girl named Tori Walton was hit by a car while walking home. She had just finished school at Outwood Academy and was on her way to her grandmother’s house.

The driver didn’t stop after hitting her, leaving Tori injured on the side of the road. She suffered a deep cut on her head that needed 17 staples. Thankfully, a passer-by helped her and called for an ambulance.

Tori was taken to North Tees University Hospital for treatment. Doctors performed a CT scan, which thankfully showed no serious injuries. Meanwhile, police are looking for the driver who fled the scene.

Tori’s mother, Charleigh McCann, expressed her disbelief about the incident. She described Tori as looking “black and blue” and said it still hasn’t sunk in for their family.

Charleigh shared her worries about Tori’s recovery. She mentioned that Tori is scared to sleep, fearing she might not wake up. Although Tori was distracted on the phone when the accident happened, Charleigh believes the driver is still at fault for not stopping.

The hit-and-run occurred around 2:55 PM on January 28, involving a silver estate car. Cleveland Police are asking anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward.

If you have details, you can contact Cleveland Police at 101 and mention reference number 016115. Your help could be crucial in finding the driver responsible.
