Alex Watson was hit by a car on Den Walk in Methil, Fife, at around 12.15am on Saturday January 14.
A Scots teenager has been warned she may never be able to walk the same again after being seriously injured in a hit-and-run.Alex, 17, was on the phone to younger sister Morgan, 14, when the car hit her. Morgan heard a sickening "thud", with Alex left lying in the road unconscious with her leg broken in two places.
"The surgeons say she might never walk the same again, and there could be more surgery in future. The person who did this has ruined a young person’s mental and physical health. She has also had to put a baking course she was due to start at Fife College in February on hold, and there are fears she will not be able to continue on to do childcare after the summer.
"I've never seen Morgan like she was, in total shock. She's been upset and reliving it. It's funny, kids aren't sympathetic, I think they act out and be quite angry. It's definitely affected her behaviour. "The CCTV shows they didn't even brake at all. l have been left sick to my stomach. That no one has come forward is beyond belief. Someone other than the person who did this must know who it is.
“The car is described as a dark coloured 4×4 and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time to get in touch if they have dashcam footage which may assist.” "I got taken to Ninewells in Dundee. I can't remember anything after that as I was knocked out. I just remember waking up in hospital.
Doctors have warned her she may feel the effects of the crash for years. She told the Record the hardest part of her recovery were her struggles with mobility and not being able to go to college. "Alex has been left with PTSD and I'm sure Morgan, my younger daughter has too. She is only 14 and was on the phone to Alex when it happened. She just heard a "thud". Then she had to go and identify her in the ambulance.
