Outrageous

...... dragged for 12ft along the pavement - video

A three-year-old girl was left with cuts and bruises to her face,
hands and knees after she was knocked over by a "hit-and-run" cyclist
and dragged for 12ft outside her home in Blackpool.

Little Lucie Wilding can be seen running out of her front gate just
as a cyclist passes by, who collided with her and dragged her along
the pavement. Her mother, who can be seen getting into a car just in
front of her daughter, instantly turns around and runs after the
cyclist and the screaming child. Her father is also seen jumping the
front wall in pursuit of the cyclist.



The cyclist rode off after the accident: - no surprise there then.

Look left, right and left before stepping out....


So the child was in the wrong?
And as you have not commented about the cyclist, it seems that you think
he did no harm.
Please respond if otherwise.

Perhaps the cyclist felt safer on the pavement because mum had double
parked? Or maybe it was the other driver?


Which vehicles do you think were double parked then?



As the video starts, mums' car, silver is parked opposite a white car on
the other side of the road. My guess of course, but as the red car and
the blue car pass from right to left there doesn't appear to be two
lanes available between the silver and white cars.

From my perspective, if my judgement of space between the two parked
cars is wrong then you or anyone else, do comment.

We should not detract, if a cyclist chooses to ride the pavement,
whether legal or not he should take responsibility for the safety of
others using the pavement at least!

And that is your idea of double parking, how quaint.

To a three-year-old?

As riding on the footpath does not happen as it is illegal there is no
reason for the girl to suspect that danger is imminent.

Indeed.

Some of us grew up being swamped with Tufty The Squirrel telling us
exactly that.

Nowadays, ask these kids who Tufty The Squirrel is and they'll ask "is
it on PS4 or Nintendo?"

You're doomed.

Outside our driveway the local council drive motor mowers on the footpath/grass verge
and only a poor parent would allow a toddler to wander off in front of its path while it is grass cutting.


Perhaps the mother in question made sure that there were no dangerous mowing
vehicles in the street.

She had not considered a ****wit cyclist breaking the law - or perhaps she had
even checked that there were no dangers near by - forgetting that some cyclists
travel at 20mph when there may be children about. That's what you said you
did, isn't it?

Not a lot of grass to be seen - or do you think they cut the paving
slabs?

Here's the grass and as you can see, they do a good job. You can also
see how they have to drive over the footpath.

And very nice too, but where is the grass in the case we are talking about?
Why should a mother expect a motor mower on that particular stretch?

She should expect hazards on a public footpath

Do you mean like ****wit cyclists breaking the law?

Wow - yes. Just as well it wasn't anything bigger than a bike.

What would have happened to the cyclist if he hadn't cycled away?

At a guess, he would have been apprehended and detained until the
arrival of the police.

The father of the injured child might have wished to exchange a few
words with him as well.

And why not?


I wonder if the parents of the child should bring a civil action against the
cyclist?

I may think of starting a crowd-source funding exercise for them.
