Raja Khan has been jailed
A driver hit a schoolboy after running a red light - before ‘disgracefully’ fleeing from the scene. The 11-year-old boy suffered a serious brain injury, a broken thigh and a collapsed lung after being hit by Raja Khan in Gorton .
“Cases like these illustrate the catastrophic consequences that people like you can cause when vehicles are driven irresponsibly.” Prosecutors told how the crash occurred on Hyde Road, near Debdale Park, at about 1.30pm on Sunday, June 26, 2022. At the time of impact, he was driving at 31mph in a 30mph zone., prosecutor Andrew Mackintosh said. Khan initially pulled over to the near side of the road.
He was flown by air ambulance to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. The boy spent five months in hospital, and his family feared he wouldn’t survive as he spent ten days in a coma. Defending, Kimberley Obrusik said Khan, who was previously banned from driving in 2019 under the totting up procedure, has suffered from depression and learning difficulties. When he surrendered to police, Khan told officers that he ‘panicked’ when he left the scene.
