ted Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 My 11 year old son and I, are season ticket holders, and as usual, on our way to the game last night we walked along Winterstoke Road, until we came to Imperial Tobacco, we started to cross the wide Road, and, three quarters of the way across, a car coming from the direction of the football ground, indicated to turn right into the Imperial Tobacco car park, and to ensure that he beat the oncoming car, raced across the road, where my son and I were almost at the first island, he just missed me, but not my son, who he ploughed straight into, sending him flying through the air to land in a heap in front of the car...... This all happened at around 7.15pm. The car went on to park in the Imperial Car Park and I assume continued to the game, I however, had to get my son to hospital, where he has been given the all clear, just bumps and bruises, (thank god) Imperial Tobacco have been fabulous and have given details to the police, but I wondered if anyone else witnessed the event ?? It would be good to have a new set of eyes just to confirm my details with the police, if anyone can help I would be really grateful, my son is really worried about going to football again, I am just hoping that this hasn't ruined our footballing time together......

Failing to stay at the scene of an accident is an offence, if it is picked up on cctv, and it will be being near a football ground, I would say the driver is screwed. No excuse not going to the cctv for this, and I am sure they will. Hope your son is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coward ran away and thought everything will be fine I'm sure you wouldn't of been as angry as you are now if you spoke to the driver and the police sorted it out last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 5, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hit and run is a very serious offence. But main thing is lad makes a full recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 There really are some *****ks out there. You cant drive quick round there normally without endangering people let alone on a match day, at night, in the rain. You done well to keep your cool and not kick right off. Hope the boys well and got plenty of sympathy from the girls at school ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Did you get the lad checked out at casualty? On Halloween I tripped over a temporary road sign that some kind person had thrown out of the cycle lane and on to the pavement. I thought I'd got away with a few scrazes. I was wrong. The plaster came off yesterday, and I've a month or so of painful physio Do get him checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 A friend of mine works for Imperial Tobacco.

Nogbad the Bad Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Very glad to hear the boy is OK. But why is everyone jumping on this as a hit and run? Ted said the driver stopped, and said sorry, but Ted had 'lost it' and was screaming at him. The boy was back on his feet and said 'Dad I'm alright' and the driver went on and parked. Awful, frightening thing to happen, both for the lad, and for the Dad to witness, but surely not a callous 'hit and run' from ted's posts above?

Kingswood Robin Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 A terrible experience. I hope your son is okay Ted. When I leave the ground I head along Ashton Road towards North Street. Some of the cars come tearing down through there straight into the crowd of people. Absolute lunatics. It's a terrible accident waiting to happen. I'd like to see traffic calming measures along there or maybe even close the road for 15-20 minutes after the game has finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
