Why does Sophie need a motorcade? She’s one of the good ones but come on

Niamh. 11-05-2023 02:50 PM

Poor woman, it would be a miracle if she recovered from that

Livia 11-05-2023 03:05 PM

I'm not sure saying he smashed into her tells the full story. He collided with her. Presumably she was in the road at the time. Terrible accident though, hope she recovers.

Other Royals were with her

A lady, from that area,
said it was at speed the old lady was hit in the road
Hard Road to cross if you are a slow walker

Yes,
it appears she was trying to cross the road
with no idea of this fast moving Royal Motorcade bike.

Bless her, I hope she will be okay

Crimson Dynamo 11-05-2023 05:25 PM

i very much doubt she will survive

that is a crossing so either the lady did not press the button to stop the traffic or the outrider ran a red light?

Yes, fighting for her life in Hospital.

It doesn’t sound good at her age…

Poor lady maybe waited for the green man and stepped out and was hit

that cant be right?

SkyNewsHD
updated her condition

Sadly, she is now in a Coma.
Her family at the hospital

Really goes to show just how much royalty cares about its ‘subjects’ though doesn’t it? They can see an old woman trying to cross the street and they don’t stop?

Livia 13-05-2023 10:10 AM

Like the rider headed for the woman with complete unconcern! Idiotic thing to say. The motorcade was approaching with lights flashing. The woman was in the road. Had she been on the pavement when the bike hit her I might believe they callously headed straight for her. I wonder how the rider is.... Must be shocking to have someone step in front of you when your whole motorcade is lit up like a Christmas tree.

rusticgal 13-05-2023 10:30 AM

Does everyone automatically step into the road when the Green man flashes???...because I always check to see if the traffic has stopped or approaching cars are slowing down. I never take it for granted.

bots 13-05-2023 10:58 AM

people do unfathomable things sometimes, they just don't think for a second and if you are unlucky, you end up in trouble

Motorcades don't stop for anything, it's a security prerequisite

thesheriff443 13-05-2023 11:08 AM

Does anyone think the rider wanted to hit an old lady

Liam thinks he saw her, but ploughed on regardless.

To suggest that Sophie could remote control the motorcade is perhaps the most stupid thing ive ever seen written on this site

That Rider
only was worried about protecting the Royals.
He did not know she was trying to cross that Massive Dangerous
Junction
