Three men are due in court after a young brother and sister were left seriously injured when they were hit by a car.

Sabah Saleem, who is now 11, and her brother Rayhan, three, were left fighting for life after being knocked down on Brudenell Road in Hyde Park, Leeds, on August 18 last year.

They were crossing the road to buy groceries as their family prepared for Eid celebrations when the incident happened.

The car allegedly drove off after the collision.

Sabah, who bore the brunt of the impact, spent several weeks in a coma in hospital.

She continues to require hospital treatment and intensive physiotherapy. Rayhan has made a full recovery.

A 36-year-old man has been reported for summons on offences of dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, failing to report an accident, perverting the course of justice and possession of cocaine.

Two other men, aged 40 and 42, have been charged with perverting the course of justice.

All three are due to appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, March 20.

A 26-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released without charge.
