Appeal over abandoned car crash victim Steff Sakatiuk | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
Relatives of a man who died in a car crash on New Year's Day have appealed to the driver who fled the scene to "do the right thing" and turn himself in. | |
Stefan Sakatiuk, 34, from Fauldhouse, West Lothian, was a passenger in a Vauxhall Signum which left the B7015 Sheephousehill Road and hit a tree. | |
The driver, who has not been named, left the scene of the crash, east of the junction with Breichwater Place. | |
Stefan's family said they had lost a "much loved son and brother". | |
No other vehicle was involved in the crash which happened at about 19:45 on Tuesday. | |
'Terrible shock' | |
Stefan's father and two brothers said in a statement: "It is a terrible shock to the whole family. Stefan was a much loved son and brother, who especially loved his mum. | |
"We would like to be left alone to grieve and hope the driver does the right thing and hands himself in. | |
"Stefan will be dearly missed and we cannot believe that this has happened." | |
Lothian and Borders Police Inspector Andy Amour said: "Inquiries are ongoing to trace the driver of the car and establish exactly what happened. | |
"We are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a silver Vauxhall Signum on the roads around the B7015 before 7.45pm on the 1st of January. | |
"Additionally we would appeal for anyone who may know who was driving the car at that time to contact us." |
