that’s always been my feeling too - she let the dog off the lead, wasn’t keeping a full eye on her as was also in a teams call, then realised she couldn’t see the dog and panicked, then went to look near the water and slipped.I think she let the dog off the lead and then went looking for it, walked towards the bak calling the dog (knowing that the dog liked to go in the water) and the dog knocked her in or she slipped in. Freak accident.
it’s tragic i’m sure welsh news was initially reporting the driver as an elderly female (though i can’t find any trace of this now) - i’ve been to that hospital and the only way i can think of that happening is complete driver error tbh. poor baby, and poor dad.Tragedy as 'smiley and happy' baby girl dies after being hit by a car
A 'smiley and happy' baby girl has died after being hit by a car while her father was putting her into a pushchair outside a busy hospital in Haverfordwest last week.www.dailymail.co.uk
Has anyone else seen this? I just can't even imagine how her dad will ever be able to come to terms with seeing this the driver is still in hospital so no mention of whether they will be charged with anything
That’s what I mean, the media coverage was strange! I’ve had to attend an inquest for an elderly family member who had memory loss, we won’t ever know how he ended up where he did. I think they do the best they can in these situations.how so?
i think it’s the driver’s car (the article mentions it was a bmw and it kind of looks like that). going purely from memory of the hospital and the photo, i think it could only happen if you hit the accelerator hard by mistake (and so hit the railings at force and mounted the grass verge). the poor father wouldn’t have had a chance to reactFrom the picture posted in that article, one of the cars is up on a grass area near the crossing but it's unclear whether that is the drivers car or not. There's certainly a lot of damage to it
It's really not. She fell into the water and drowned.I’m not a conspiracy theorist but it’s all very strange this case.
i had heard that it was in front of the hospital near the main entrance (as if the driver was dropping someone off or picking them up), which does tie in with a possible accidental acceleration and shooting forward and up onto the verge. it happens sometimes with elderly drivers (again assuming my memory is right and it is an elderly woman) as they sometimes mistake the pedals or misjudge force.Sadly, I think elderly driver is the most likely explanation. Can’t believe another pedestrian was hurt as well. I imagined the car was driving past rows of parked cars (with the buggy situated just behind a parked car, as you do when loading and unloading babies) but that photo does suggest that the car mounted a paved/grassy area. Tragic.
