I do hope she was arrested for traumatising that poor driver

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Omg awful. Why didn't the car stop? And really she should have been more careful. Maybe she thought the car would stop? Haha.

I can't really talk though I got hit in a similar way in December but by a motorcycle. He did stop but the claimed he had to go pick up his daughter and left. Still have the scar on my head and can still claim compensation. That moment you get hit really feels like you're on a rollercoaster and you only realize what happens when you're on the floor.

As hilarious as it was that she ran STRAIGHT into it, I think the fault lies on more than one person here.

Seriously though, it's not like she tried to dart past the front of a car or owt, she literally ran into the wheel arch, is she blind?

[Livia]

She darted across the road without even looking! The driver's view was obstructed by the black car going the other way, how would he know some knuckleheaded kid was going to run across the road in front of him? You're supposed to wait at a crossing until the traffic stops. The driver didn't drive away, he was clearly pulling in to the side of the road because as we all know, you are not allowed to stop on the zigzags of a crossing for any reason.

I think it's clearly her fault. You're not meant to run across the road, also she is supposed to stop at the central traffic island.

I do hope she wasn't seriously hurt.

I agree she didn't do what she was supposed to do and I feel bad for the driver but as much as she was supposed to stop and make sure the road was clear he was supposed to slow right down coming to a zebra crossing and make sure no one was trying to cross. It will more than likely end up falling on him because drivers (rightly or wrongly) usually have to be more responsible than pedestrians on the road (here anyway)

Yep I don't know the rules of driving but slowing down coming to a zebra crossing makes sense, so I guess yea he's ultimately to blame.

Yeah especially at a crossing like this which is always gonna be constantly busy, she was very careless but he should have been slowing down anyway which would have given him time to react to her crossing the road especially when as Ammi mentioned she crossed from the other side of the road

I hit an 8 year old girl a good few years back who ran across the road in the same way.

the girl made a mistake, we all make mistakes, but she will be someone's child,
there seems to be a lot of heatless members on here
the driver was not at fault.

[michael21]

i think she might of been ok if she stay on the crossing as the impact was not on the crossing it self just bad timing as the car that hit her had no other cars behind it

Dumbass ran straight into it. I can't feel bad for her for that.

Daily Mail doing their usual thing of picking up on something viral days later: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...bum-cover.html

Does clear up some things though:

Despite many thinking the driver of the vehicle fled the scene, according to staff at the recording studio, they pulled over to help.

A spokesperson said: 'Our security team recognised it as an incident which occurred over a year ago.

'The motorist concerned did actually stop at the scene to offer assistance.'
