The 54-year-old woman drove her car onto a pedestrian crossing, regardless of the fact that there was a woman with a child on it. Although the tragedy was only prevented by the boy's mother's reflexes, the 54-year-old did not even stop to ask if something had happened. The woman has already lost her driving license and will appear in court. The surveillance video published by the police shows that the car brushed the child's leg.
A resident of Strzelce Opolskie was crossing the street with her six-year-old son. The incident took place on Tuesday afternoon in the city center. The crossing is marked and well lit.
The mother and son were halfway across the lanes when a Toyota passenger car drove into them. “If it weren't for the mother's reaction, who grabbed her son at the last moment, the car would have hit the child,” we read in a statement from the Strzelce police. The officers point out that the tragedy was prevented, among other things, by the fact that the woman was still holding the six-year-old's hand.
The driver will appear in court
The 54-year-old driver of the Toyota, regardless of the fact that she almost hit the boy, continued driving towards the town hall. However, the child's mother remembered the registration number of her car and notified the police. When the driver reached home, the police were already waiting for her.
According to the police, the 54-year-old will appear in court and be charged with causing a serious road hazard. For now, the police have electronically blocked her driving license.
The boy was taken to hospital for tests. The surveillance video shows that the car brushed his leg. However, the child did not suffer any serious injuries – only bruises, a sore foot and fear.
