WHAT A SHOCK

What a day......l went to pick Claire up from school. It was pouring with rain; although shocking for here, thats not what l'm blogging about.
We were just coming out of the gate when a lad on a bike rode past and all of a sudden l noticed a car pulling into the school carpark and thought that bikes not stopping and neither is the car. Both myself and Claire screamed out but it was too late the enevitable happened and the car hit the lad who then went up on the bonnet and then back onto the ground. I ran over and said stay still with that he jumped up and was rather shocked, he was a bit heavy for me to lift and so he hobbled along with me towards the office. I then noticed a man and shouted can you come and carry this lad hes just been hit by a car; only to find that the man was the boys father, anyway an ambulance was called and hopfully he got away with cuts and bruise; although he may have broken his arm, l stayed and waited to give a statement to the police.
It really shakes you up seeing something like that - l really felt for the driver; although l dont think she could have been paying attention.
Just thankful it turned out as it did it could have been a lot worse.
