Wath "fail to stop" collision victim named as Joshua Lloyd as police hunt suspected hit-and-run driver

POLICE have named a man who was left critically injured in a hit and run collision as they appeal for help tracking down a suspect

Joshua (27, pictured above) remains in hospital in a critical condition following the incident in Wath on June 11, and his family have today released a photograph of him.

South Yorkshire Police’s serious collisions unit has also issued a further appeal to the public today for information on the whereabouts of Kallum Flowers (pictured below), who is wanted for questioning in connection with the collision.

Despite several public appeals, 33-year-old Flowers has not been located and police say they believe he is “actively avoiding contact”.

“Flowers knows that we want to speak to him in connection with this collision and we believe he is actively avoiding contact with our officers. 

“We must consider the possibility that Flowers may be seeking the help of friends and associates to lie low, but I’d stress to those individuals that by doing so you may also be committing a criminal offence.

“A young man lies in hospital critically-ill as a result of this collision, Joshua’s family want to understand what happened that evening. 

“Please think about how you would feel if this was your loved one.

“If you have any information about where Flowers is, or has been, I’d urge you to contact us. 

“If you’d rather not speak directly to police, information can be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers.”

Anyone with information can contact South Yorkshire Police online, via webchat or by calling 101 quoting incident number 1004 of June 11.
