A delivery rider who ploughed into a four-year-old boy has handed himself into police.
Little Luca Davies was on a day out with his 18-year-old cousin Ellee Gowin, 15-year-old cousin Neve, and three-year-old sister Lois when he was struck by the delivery rider in Cardiff on May 1.
Mum Georgia Harvard, from Abercarn, says the the rider took off after hitting the youngster, who has been left both mentally and physically scarred from the ordeal.
The parent added that while she was sympathetic to the rider and knows that accidents happen, she was upset by the rider's actions following the crash.
Speaking to WalesOnline, Georgia said: "I get accidents happen. I'm not going to be a person and stand here and say accidents don't happen because they do but he should have stopped.
"I'm at the point where I don't really want to let them go with anyone else because of my anxiety. His poor little face has now got three lovely scars on it from this person."
Now South Wales Police have reported that the rider, a 21-year-old man from the Swansea area, has handed himself in to the police.
Additionally he has now had the opportunity to apologise to the family. A spokesman for the force shared: "He has written a letter to apologise to the mum and her little boy. Enquiries are ongoing."
