A cyclist who has been seriously injured in a hit and run accident, is pursuing a claim for compensation after receiving a letter from the driver who caused the accident.
Peter Vaughan, sixty three year old cyclist and classic car enthusiast in October 2010, had his holiday cut short as he was cycling to his son’s house in Dublin and got hit from behind by a car which left the scene of the accident.
Mr Vaughan was found unconscious at the side of the road and an ambulance was called by a neighbor that rushed him to hospital where it found he had multiple injuries.
The cyclist suffered serious injuries including multiple leg fractures which he needed an operation on and is still wearing a metal frame, eye and shoulder injuries and injuries to his kidney, claim reports.
Mr Vaughan is starting to recover from his injuries, although, he has to use crutches to help him walk and is now seeking compensation for his injuries, so that the money received can help pay towards any rehabilitation he may require.
