Car Accident Victim Looking to Thank First Aiders

A woman who broke both legs when she was hit by a car in a Knutsford car park is looking to track down the members of the public who came to her aid.

Paediatric nurse Laura Robinson, 28, was visiting a friend on August 16 when she was struck by a reversing Peugeot 208 car while paying for parking.

Laura was airlifted to Wythenshawe Hospital, where she spent three weeks, undergoing four operations. Almost six months on, she still requires a wheelchair and crutches to get around.

Now, she wants to thank her makeshift medical team in person. While one, who she knows only as Marcus, became a key police witness, the other was a retired army medic whose details she did not get. She says:

"I was in the car park for around an hour – the traffic was bad and they couldn't move me until specialist equipment arrived in an ambulance to put my legs in traction.

"I just want to say a massive thank you. The way it all happened, I could've had a spinal injury but those who helped knew not to move me – luckily they knew what to do.

"I'm just thankful to them, to the police and ambulance crews and the staff at Wythenshawe."

If you have been injured and believe the negligence of another road user was to blame, you may be entitled to compensation. Call our claims team on 01625 522 429.
