Heartbroken mum launched frantic search for missing son, 15, unaware he was killed in ‘hit-and-run’ – The Sun

A MUM launched a frantic search for her teenage son – unaware he had already been killed in a suspected hit-and-run.

Steven Mcilquham, 15, died after the crash in Wishaw, near Glasgow at around 9.30pm on New Year's Day.


Schoolboy Steven was run over as he crossed the road and a 20-year-old man arrested.

The Daily Record reports that worried mum Amanda was oblivious to the tragedy and launched a frantic bid to track him down when he didn't answer his phone.

Neighbour Mary Ferguson told them Amanda was still on the lookout at 11pm.

She said: "Amanda was worried sick.

"She had no idea where he had go to as he was not answering his mobile.

"I think she had been expecting him to phone her earlier in the night.

[Mum] Amanda was worried sick. She had no idea where he had go to as he was not answering his mobile.

"The way she was acting and how worried she was, it was like she knew something was wrong.

"They were looking everywhere and phoning around to try to find out where he had got to."

The neighbour, who stayed next to the family for 12 years, paid tribute to the tragic lad.

She said: "He was so lovely and kind. Just a really nice young boy with a very big heart.

"My heart breaks for Amanda and family.

"She was just telling me how much her family meant to her when we were chatting on New Year's Eve.

"She loved her boy so much."

We told earlier how heartbroken pals had paid tribute to Steven on social media.

Meanwhile, an air stewardess is seriously hurt in hospital after she was the only survivor of a Hogmanay crash that left three of her British Airways colleagues dead.
