Yesterday at 11:55 AM
A ‘HEARTBROKEN’ mum pays tribute to her son who was hit and killed by a ‘drug driver’ just days before Christmas.
Ryan Marshall, 15, was “mowed down” by the Ford Fiesta and passed away from his injuries on December 22.
Paying tribute to him today, Ryan's heartbroken mum said: "Ryan was a lovely, caring boy with a cheeky smile and wicked, cheeky sense of humour.
"He was loved so much by me, the family and everyone who knew him. We are all very heart-broken that he was taken from us."
South YorkshirePolice said: “An investigation is underway following reports of a road traffic collision in Sheffield.
“Yesterday just before 1pm, officers were in the Hyde Park Walk area on a pre-planned operation.
“While in the area, a black Ford Fiesta believed to have been stolen has reacted to the police presence and attempted to flee the scene.
Following a short pursuit, the black Fiesta has collided with a wall. East Bank Road was closed for a period of time while officers conducted their work, but has since reopened.
The Force added: “An 18-year-old man was taken to hospital where he has sadly died as a result of his injuries.
“His family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.”
South Yorkshire Police are now appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident with information, dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward.
Officers are particularly interested in anyone who may have been in the City Road, Park Grange Road, Spring Lane and Northern Avenue areas.
