Man remains critically ill after a fail to stop collision near Doncaster

Joshua remains in hospital in a critical condition and his family yesterday (Friday 30 June) released this photograph of him.

They have asked for privacy as a family while they continue to support Joshua in hospital.

South Yorkshire Police’s Serious Collisions Unit have issued a further appeal for information on the whereabouts of Kallum Flowers, who is wanted for questioning in connection with this collision. Despite several public appeals, 33-year-old Flowers has not been located.

Sergeant John Taylor said: “It has now been nearly three weeks since the collision took place at the junction of Rotherham Road and Firth Road in Wath-upon-Dearne.

“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.”
