Why is this article worded the way it is?
Surely a better way to phrase this would be that a driver has hit a 6 year old child with their car..?
Or a six-year old ran out in front of a car ? Must be pretty cut and dried as the police are not asking for witnesses or arrested the driver.
He didn’t run out into the road, there was traffic as they tried to cross and unfortunately the driver didn’t see him and he was lucky enough to be pulled back by his Nan so he luckily only got a broken leg and nothing else, the driver wasn’t at fualt and neither was he, it was just a freak accident, the driver and passenger also stopped and called the ambulance and cooperated with the police, it was just a accident.
