Good on people for helping
Kind off the right thing to do tho right? Perhaps not so much these days…, nice to see well done.
WHY STATE THE OBVIOUS……?
99.9% OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE WOULD DO THE SAME….?
Would they? There’s no harm in saying good on people for helping
Just come through there and looks like it’s under control. Just hope the pedestrian who was hit and the driver are all okay
Looked like a
School kid
Why do police go from minor injuries to serious?. Why make any statement until know – like saying someone’s not a suspect but we have charged them. Hope both parties ok, again thanks to public who help and are our first responders -well done.
