Woman hit by car on Abbey Road crossing *Warning, video link*

[Princess Rosie]

OMG!

The lady was obviously in such a hurry! Can't imagine the view that the driver had but obviously hadn't seen her. I hope to goodness she was ok, hope the driver is ok after the shock and hope the children at the side of the road didn't really see what happened.

Pretty shocking to see, but I'm afraid my sympathies are mostly with the driver of the car, as he couldn't have avoided her and is now suffering for her stupidity.

Someone should have taught her the Green Cross Code. Hope she's ok though.

 

[PorkChop]

Ouch - hope she is Ok, and that the driver of the vehicle isn't too shaken, silly woman.

She essentially ran into the car not the other way around, sympathies completely with the driver.

This happened on 3rd July, 2012, so why is it being highlighted now over 2 years later?

You aren't admitting to having read the DM are you?

I followed the link, my bad :eek3:

It's in the news because of the number of views online, and yes probably because there's little other "shocking" news to dwell on... Is it right to put this online without the knowledge and consent of the woman and driver involved? Do they really need to be reminded of the incident? I doubt it, and likewise very poor taste for other families who mourn over someone lost/injured though similar incidents. The only benefit is if it stops people taking unnecessary risks on road crossings.

She's lucky she didn't get thrown under the oncoming car.

she was stupid and lucky from what that video shows, but I am shocked by the fact no-one stops the traffic, people seem to just be standing around her, no-one covers her to keep her warm and prevent shock, no-one immobilises her neck-also the parents with the young kids that dont come to help-what does that teach our youngsters?

To be fair if I had young kids I wouldn't want to leave them at the side of the road to go and help, nor would I want them to see the injured woman.

part of life and if it was one of mine I would be devastated that people walked away
