A fresh appeal is being made for blood donations for an elderly man who was struck by a vehicle early Monday morning.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Steve Alphonse, 78, was rushed to the hospital after he was reportedly knocked off his bicycle while on the way to his Creekside farm to tend to his livestock.<\/p>\n

The elderly man received injuries to the head and was placed in an induced coma.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

On Monday, Alphonse\u2019s friend, Sylvester George, reached out to the media making a special appeal for primarily O-positive blood or any other type, and for the driver of the vehicle that struck the farmer to turn themselves in to police.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

George told Observer yesterday that his friend was still in need of blood as his condition remains critical. He said a report was also made to the police. Police could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

Alphonse, originally from Cooks Hill, was found lying in the bushes by a passerby who saw his damaged bicycle on the side of the road.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Further details of the accident remain unclear.<\/p>\n
