A mum whose son was hit by a car and left for dead in the road is appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Finn Andrews-Carlo, 17, was planning to celebrate his 18th birthday this Saturday with a party at his home in Northwood, until he was injured by a hit-and-run driver in a stolen car.
He was on his way home from work at The Harefield pub on his motorbike on February 13 when he was hit just after 11pm outside The Northwood Hills restaurant, in Joel Street.
His mum, Kerry Andrews, said: "He was coming down Joel Street towards the roundabout when a stationary car on the other side of the road just pulled straight in front of him as if it was going into The Northwood Hills.
"He went over the top of the car and they just drove away and left him for dead in the road.
"It just makes me so angry that there's some person who has done this.
"He wouldn't normally come home that way from work but he needed to get some petrol and money from Tesco Express."
Finn is still in Hillingdon Hospital with a broken thigh bone and four broken toes and he might have to have a skin graft on his foot.
Ms Andrews said: "He is very low and he is trying to deal with pain. He has lost a lot of weight too, but I am hoping he will be let out on Friday.
"He had just started working as a chef at The Harefield pub, in High Street, Harefield, when this happened, and even though they said they will try and keep a place for him, he will probably lose his job.
"He is in the middle of doing his A-levels at West Herts College in Watford as well, and he is missing out on a lot of course work, but I am hoping we can salvage the course when he comes home. It would be such a shame for him to lose out."
* The silver Renault that hit Finn was reported stolen from Leaf Close, in Northwood, by the owner on February 14. Anyone with any information about who stole the car or who was driving it when it hit Finn should call the police on 0300 123 1212.
