"The man just drove off," said Sue, who lives in Longridge and works as a teaching assistant.
"But there's a chance, according to witnesses, that he returned to check we were alright and then drove off again.
"It was horrendous - especially as there was an 11-year-old child involved."

Hide AdThe collision happened at around 6.50pm on Friday (November 15).
"We had got three-quarters of the way across the roundabout when this car just flew down Kestor Lane, didn't stop and T-boned us," explained Sue.
"Then it quickly drove away.
"I thought it was a four-by-four, but I can't be sure. It was certainly dark coloured and a witness managed to get part of its number. It started P?19.
"Some of the people around our car thought he came back, briefly.

"Then he disappeared again and witnesses said that was him."
Fire crews released Sue and Josh from the car. At one point they considered cutting the roof off, but firefighters managed to get both casualties out.
"They thought Josh had a broken arm and a knee injury," said Sue.

Hide Ad"With me they were going to cut the roof off because I was getting a tingling sensation down my left side.
"In the end I just had soft tissue injuries and concussion. Everything in my body just hurts.
"Fortunately Josh just has swelling and bruising, nothing was broken. But he's been traumatised, especially at the thought that someone could do this and then just drive off.
"If there is anyone out there who saw what happened, or knows who it was, then please contact the police and tell them what you know.
