Heartbroken wife speaks out after father mowed down in unsolved hit-and-run

A devastated wife has spoken out after her husband 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-run knocked him unconscious, causing a brain injury.

For almost a week, Courtney Storm has barely left her husband’s side, calling him “the best dad in the world”.

“So supportive, [he] really will put everyone before himself,” she told 9News.

“Everyone just loves him. I just don’t think I could find someone to say a bad word about him. Trouble doesn’t surround him. It doesn’t follow him,” Courtney said.

The 29-year-old had just returned from a night celebrating his dad’s engagement.

Someone in a dark-coloured car drove past, hurling abuse before making a U-turn and striking Rayden.

His loved ones rushed to help, but the car sped off.

“We’d had a really good night, really happy, was laughing with everyone,” Courtney said.

“He’d only stepped out for maybe five [or] 10 minutes when it happened.”

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.
