A devastated wife has spoken out after a father-of-four has spent the week fighting for life after being mowed down outside his home in Melbourne’s south-east.
Father-of-four Rayden is in an induced coma after being struck by a driver outside his Clyde North home early on Sunday morning.
The brutal hit-and-run knocked Rayden unconscious, causing a brain injury.
His family hurried to offer assistance, but the vehicle quickly vanished down the road.
“We had enjoyed a wonderful evening, full of joy and shared laughter,” Courtney recalled.
“Rayden had only been outside for perhaps five or ten minutes when the incident took place.”
Detectives are still trying to track down the car, and Courtney says her family did not recognise the driver or passenger, and believes it was a random attack.
“Rayden is not one to hold grudges. He is always willing to forgive those who have wronged him,” she added.
“His recovery will be lengthy, but beyond that, I am uncertain about what the future holds or how things will unfold.”
