Incredible: This cyclist passes over a three-year-old child and drags it along
It is the horror of all parents: the child once not briefly in view and already the unbelievable happens. This happened to this mother in England, whose child was the victim of a brutal Rüpel-Radler.
Actually Lauren H. wanted to bring her little daughter Lucie only to the preschool. But when she ever goes to the car, she can not imagine that her daughter is brutally driven every moment over the pile.
It's hard to believe, but the pictures are clear words. On a security camera is clearly seen how a cyclist passes over the little girl in the middle of the sidewalk and tears with it. Lauren H. and her partner Matt storm immediately to her daughter. "I thought she was dead. She was bleeding everywhere. And then she screamed, she screamed with all her strength. " With severe grazes and cuts on her head, hands, knees and face, little Lucie goes to the hospital.
"I thought she was dead."
Immediately after the terrible accident, the worried mother notified the police. Because according to her statement, the cyclist had started after the bad incident to insult the family. "The cyclist lay face down on the ground. I expected him to apologize and ask if everything was ok, but he did not. Immediately after straightening up, he started cursing us. Like Lucie was guilty of it. "
But it should come even braver, because then flees the man from the accident site. "Then he got back on his bike and drove away. We have not heard from him since then, "says Lauren.
The mother then made every effort to find the culprit. Because cause of the accident was clearly his illegal driving on the pedestrian path. Due to its high speed, it was virtually impossible for the cyclist to avoid the accident when the child entered the walkway.
Guilty party found!
Meanwhile, the cyclist could also be determined, it is Andrew H. And Andrew H. does not even deny that he has caused the accident. However, he claims that he has neither fled the scene of the accident nor had he berated the family. On the contrary, he immediately apologized to his mother for his behavior and made sure that the little girl was fine.
Now statement stands against statement. The police confirmed, however, that the young driver has since reported himself. He was not aware that fast driving on sidewalks was generally prohibited. In addition, he should have already apologized by e-mail to the family.
Luckily, for little Lucie, the collision was more lenient than the video first suggests. Nonetheless, she has been terrified and now terribly afraid of bicycles. Since then, her parents always have to carry her to the car. Her fear of another collision is too great.
