Stupid lassie but it looks like her fat may have saved her from more serious injury

[LemonJam]

she ran straight ****ing into it lmao

[MTVN]

Car should have noticed really tbh, didn't seem that bothered either just driving straight off lol

[Kizzy]

What is the joke here?... I don't get it.
She was crossing a zebra and the car should have stopped, they drove away because they knew they were in trouble.

[AnnieK]

I have watched this afew times I don't think the car drove off...if you look he is indicating. I think the driver is a guy in a grey t shirt who comes and stands by....

Fault on both side, she wasn't actually on the crossing, she ran diagonally without looking and for the driver probably came out of nowhere but the driver should have been more aware.

Just glad it looks like she wasn't too badly hurt

[Niamh.]

Jeez that looked bad, the car shouldn't have driven off but at the same time you're supposed to stop and make sure it's safe before you cross even if it's a zebra crossing, she just took off, she didn't give the car a lot of time to react (although he should have slowed down and been more cautious coming up to a zebra crossing)

Edit : just read Annie's post, glad he didn't drive away

She was not crossing at a zebra crossing, she ran diagonally across it and was hit off the crossing. The driver (who I dont think did drive off but stopped) had no time to see her as she ran behind him.

Cars are not required to stop there if there are no people waiting to cross and pedestrians should not expect cars to stop if you are running to the crossing from behind it.

Isn't that guy in the grey the guy who is jogging down the pavement at the start of the video?

[Marc]

Did they drive off? Why was she running across it though?

[Kizzy]

She was a child running ...a hazard . imo she should have been seen.

I don't think we should be making jokes when she's obviously seriously injured either.

[BBfanUSA]

Bloody idiot.

She deserved to get hurt.

That's a bit cruel when you're talking about a child. She should have been more careful crossing the road yes and the driver should have been more cautious driving through a zebra crossing

[GypsyGoth]

It was probably a terrorist driving that car.

I agree although she should have looked too....

[Marc]

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.

Looks like a Teen to me,

She should be competent enough to look both ways.

She was trying to outrun the car. Bish thought she was supergirl.

[Creggle]

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?

Tbh im more concerned that people are sympathising with blatent stupidity. I feel worse for the driver.

[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 agree. Any one of us could have been driving that car. I'm not sure any of us would be so stupid as to run across a crossing without looking.

The car hit her off the crossing which could be important but I think the driver did not stop looking again at the vid, in that case that driver is fecked when they get him/her.
