  • Whilst the young lady who only had her leg broken from this accident has posted on this website asking for advice. My cousin was in the hospital trauma unit with fractures to her head, neck and back. The police officer present will be writing his report to confirm this horrific accident and the dozen or so people who were screaming for him to stop reversing over them a second time will no doubt give their witness statements. Yes, they were very lucky to be alive. This was a serious incident which is being dealt with officially and which has deeply affected to people involved and the comments about 'compo' are offensive and written by people who have too much time on their hands and no-one else to listen to their little rants. Go and make yourself a cheese toastie and a cup of hot chocolate, go to bed before you wear yourself out and in the morning promise yourself to live a full life where you dont have time to comment on othwr peoples lives and have one of your own!

    This thread might be better for the motoring/transport forum, since this is really about a road traffic accident, not about a disability?

    Don't expect (some of) the people there to be any less judgemental though so you might want to go into the same level of detail that you have in the later posts.

    If you believe that this accident has left you disabled and need help with the wonderful world of claiming disability benefits and obtaining mobility aids, you might get a better response here.
