A DAUGHTER has branded men who fled after injuring her mum in a hit and run as "not human".

Carol Stamp, 60, from Pentre Gwyn was taken to hospital after her car was involved in a hit and run on Friday (August 10) in Rhos.

She was driving down Vinegar Hill by Grango School at approximately 9pm when her Vauxhall Corsa was hit on the drivers side by a Vauxhall Astra, which forced her off car to come off the road and collide with a tree.

A spokesman for North Wales Police confirmed the Vauxhall Astra was driven away from the scene towards Ponciau and was later found abandoned at Plas-y-Delph Residential Care Home, where four males wearing dark were seen decamping the vehicle and running away.

Mrs Stamp's daughter Nicola Jones, 39, who works at a nurse at the Wrexham Maelor Hospital branded those who did it as "not human" and said it's down to sheer luck her Mum wasn't killed or seriously injured in the accident.

She said: "I'm so so angry about what's happened, Mum has severe bruising and has been really shaken by what happened to her.

"I know young lads can misbehave, but my Mum could have been seriously injured, or worse and they just drove off, without a care in the world."

Mrs Stamp, who is a mother of seven, grandmother of six as well as having five great grand children, works as a carer offering home help in the community and was on the way to the home of a patient at the time of the accident and it was a colleague of hers who was nearby, that called Nicola to tell what happened.

Nicola added: "I live by the Maelor and when I arrived at the scene just before the Police and Ambulance, there was a lovely woman called Kate Buirski there who was holding my Mums hand and keeping her calm.

"She lives nearby, had heard the bang and came out to help and I'm so grateful for what she did.

"Mum has had to go back into hospital this morning (Tuesday) for an X-ray as we think she might have a broken foot."

Nicola made a post on Facebook, which has been shared more than 700 times and she says she has been inundated with messages of support, including from people who don't even know her mother.

She added: "My mum's not one for too much fuss and she hates social media but she was keen for me to share what had happened to her far and wide, because people have simply had enough of this type of dangerous, anti-social behaviour."

A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called on Friday (August 10, 2018) at approximately 9.30pm to reports of a road traffic collision on Vinegar Hill, Rhosllanerchrugog, Wrexham.

We responded with one emergency ambulance, where a female patient was taken to Maelor General Hospital, Wrexham.”

A North Wales Police spokesman added that anyone with any information about the collision should contact police on 101 using reference W112953.
