A Scots motorist knocked over a six-year-old boy on his scooter in a hit-and-run after suffering “brain fog” during a diabetic episode.
Philip Lister struck the youngster with his car in Edinburgh’s city centre after failing to stop at a red light on a pedestrian crossing.
The boy was knocked unconscious and left bleeding after the car’s wing mirror smashed him on the head.
Lister’s vehicle was later traced by cops using CCTV and he told officers he had no memory of the collision.
The 45-year-old appeared at the city’s sheriff court on Thursday and pled guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Lister, a restaurant manager at The Scotch Whisky Experience tourist attraction on the Royal Mile, admitted taking a test before getting behind the wheel which showed his blood sugar levels were extremely low.
Fiscal depute Sophie Hanlon said the boy had been with his mum and four-year-old sister shortly before 5pm and reached a crossing on the Western Approach Road.
Ms Hanlon said he was on his scooter and stopped to wait for the green man.
She said a car heading east “failed to stop at the red light and struck the child causing him to be thrown to the ground”.
The prosecutor said the vehicle drove on and the boy’s mum ran to his aid, finding him “unresponsive and limp and with blood covering his face”.
She said: “After a minute or so, he regained consciousness, began to cry, and was asking his mother if it had been a “dream”.”
The boy was taken to the Sick Kids Hospital and later referred for plastic surgery at St John’s Hospital in Livingston for treatment to a cut above his eyebrow to try and minimise scarring.
Police checked CCTV at the rear of Fountain Park Leisure Centre and identified the car’s number plate from
