On Friday afternoon coming home from school with his mum and brother, my grandson,Charlie was hit by a car on a crossing even though the green man was on. He was flung in the air, hit the bonnet and then landed several feet away. He was knocked unconscious for 5-10 mins but had woken by the time the ambulance arrived. Amazingly enough however he escaped with only a broken arm and cuts and grazes. He was kept in hospital overnight but was allowed home yesterday morning. We have been told his arm could take up to 12 weeks to heal.

Gosh! Every parents worse nightmare..I hope he is recovering OK and here's wishing Charlie and his family 'All the Best'
ReplyDeleteOMG poor little fella. How lucky he was to escape with such relative minor injuries.
ReplyDeleteOne of my pet hates is drivers who seem to think the rules of the crossings don't apply to them.
Ah, poor Charlie! I hope the driver will be punished. Poor little lad, I hope he feels better soon. Lynda xxx

ReplyDeleteI thought I'd left a comment here but it must have disappeared. That was a dreadful thing to happen, his mum must have been really upset. Hope Charlie is feeling much better now, he was very lucky not to have been injured more seriously.
