THE devastated family of "hit-and-run" victim Lisa Lyons is urging the driver who knocked her down to come forward.
The 31-year-old was on her way to visit her grandmother when she was hit in Marfleet Lane, east Hull, last Wednesday.
The male driver got out of a blue Volkswagen Golf to check on the woman, before allegedly running away from the scene.
After fighting for her life in a coma, Lisa is now recovering in Hull Royal Infirmary.
Her brother Dean Lyons is calling on the motorist to do the right thing and contact police.
"We are shocked by what happened to our sister and we urge the man to come forward and speak to police," he said.
"Lisa is lying in a hospital bed and has multiple injuries. We are deeply saddened and it has been a truly tough time for everyone concerned.
"We are a tight family in a tight community and some- thing like this shocks everyone."
Officers arrested two men, both aged 28, before releasing them on police bail until October.
Lisa has suffered a broken leg and a suspected fractured skull.
However, early fears of a bleed on the brain have now been ruled out.
Dean said: "Lisa is getting there day by day and we are so proud of her recovery.
"She is badly bruised and she cannot yet open her right eye, but progress is being made all the time.
"She is eating through a straw and is able to say the odd word or two. She is a long way from her normal self, but she is showing remarkable resilience."
Lisa is well known on the Preston Road estate for her pink and white trolley.
She was hit outside Marfleet Lane Surgery, which is about 200 yards from where her father and stepmother live.
The collision happened at 4.45pm.
Dean thanked hundreds of well-wishers for their support and kind words.
He said: "The response from people across Hull, especially in our own community, has been amazing.
"From me, my family and, of course, Lisa, we would like to thank all of those people who have given us this brilliant support.
"I know Lisa is very grateful.
"She is a quiet, polite and down-to-earth individual and doesn't deserve getting tangled up in something like this."
Lisa, who lives with her mother in Horbury Avenue, will undergo several tests this week that will determine the length of her stay in hospital.
Marfleet Lane resident Anne McGill, 71, said: "It is really pleasing to hear that Lisa is pulling through. We knew she would.
"She is one of the estate's nice girls."
Humberside Police are still seeking witnesses to the collision. Call 101, quoting log number 501.
