Wife releases horrific images of husband 'left for dead' by hit and run driver

A wife has shared harrowing images of her husband’s injuries after he was 'left for dead' by a speeding hit-and-run driver.

Dad-of-two Dom Allan stepped out of a taxi outside his home when he was mown down and flung 8ft into the air.

The 36-year-old was rushed to hospital with horrific injuries including a smashed skull, broken vertebrae, broken knee and a fractured eye socket, Birmingham Live reports.

Dom, who works as a nurse, had been out with his friend in Stourbridge, West Midlands, when he got out of a taxi outside his house at 12.30am on Sunday, May 12.

His wife Becky, 35, has released graphic pictures of Dom lying in intensive care after the horror crash while police hunt for the hit-and-run driver.

Becky, mum to Amelia, three and Elliott, one, said: “Dom had gone out for a drink with his friend and had got a taxi home.

“He got out on the road side after his friend said it was clear and literally moments later he was struck by a speeding car.

“His friend said there was a huge bang and Dom was sent flying.

“He landed on the pedestrian crossing outside our front door and was bleeding all over our front step.

“One of my neighbours knocked on my door and told me to get my belongings because Dom had been in an accident.

“I was shaking and couldn’t even put my shoes on. I just thought the worse.

“My neighbour looked after our two kids who were asleep and I went in the ambulance with Dom.

“I couldn’t believe he had been so close to our home. I was in bits.”

Dom was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham where he underwent surgery for a bleed on the brain.

He was sent to intensive care and put under heavy sedation.

Doctors say he is expected to make a full recovery but it could take six months.

Becky, who works in a care home, added: “It’s disgusting that someone could just do this and drive away.

“He could have been dead and that car just hasn’t stopped.

“Poor Dom has no idea what happened. One moment he was closing the taxi door and the next he was lying bleeding in the road.”

West Midlands Police are investigating.
