Schoolgirl hurt by car’s wing mirror
1:10pm Wednesday 11th November 2009
A SCHOOLGIRL was treated for whiplash, bruising and nerve damage in hospital after being injured by a wing mirror in a collision with a minibus.
The accident happened as the 15-year-old was walking along the pavement on Belle Vue Road, near the Tuckton roundabout in Southbourne, at 8.45am on Thursday last week.
The female driver of the minibus and a female passenger stopped to ask if the girl was all right.
The girl, who was winded and dazed, stood up and moved the wing mirror back into place before the vehicle drove off.
She went to school and was later sent to hospital.
Police say they want to speak to the driver and any other witnesses to the incident.
