Police hunt maniac driver who hit teenage boy
A TEENAGER was rushed to hospital after being deliberately struck by a car in a terrifying ordeal.
The 16-year-old suffered head injuries when a car mounted a pavement and drove towards a group of between 10 and 15 people in Glenmanor Avenue, Moodiesburn.
