On March 1, a six-year-old boy named Arlo was left with life-threatening injuries after a motorbike hit him in net-witch cheshire. The rider, then 16-year-old Kayla Munghurst, fled the scene instead of helping. Emergency crews airlifted Arlo to a children's hospital, where he went into an induced coma for five days due to severe head trauma and broken bones. Doctors found skull fractures, brain bruising, a broken femur, pelvis fractures, and a shoulder injury. They also relieved pressure on his brain and treated a blocked artery to prevent strokes. Arlo spent about three and a half weeks in the hospital before going home. His dad, Danny Buckley, remains upset that Longhurst pushed the bike away and left Arlo unconscious on the road. The crash has changed Arlo's personality. He's now more frustrated and tired, with epilepsy requiring daily medication. His school provides extra support and his sister developed post-traumatic stress disorder, needing counseling for the family. In court on Friday, 18-year-old Longhurst admitted dangerous driving and was convicted,

along with his mother and another man of trying to. Cover up the crime by hiding the bike, burning clothes, and fleeing to York. His sister had already pleaded guilty while a fourth person was cleared. The judge noted no remorse from the guilty parties, and said the bike should not have been on the road. With sentencing ahead, the Buckley family focuses on Arlo's ongoing rehab to help him recover as much as possible. Breacher as much as possible. Breacher as much as possible.
