Sitting Woman Gets a Crashing Car Pinned into Her Legs

[kellyhound]

A woman narrowly avoided fatal injuries in a freak accident in the U.K. The woman was rushed to hospital with serious injuries to her lower body and legs after a car veered off of the road, somehow avoiding the safety bollards, to pin her legs against the bench she was sat on.

The pedestrian, a woman in her 50s, has suffered injuries to her legs and was rushed to University Hospital Southampton.

Two ambulance crews, an ambulance officer and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance were sent to the scene where two patients were treated.

A spokesman for South Central Ambulance Service said, "One patient has already been treated by our crews for serious injuries and has been taken to hospital accompanied by the ambulance and air crew.

"One other patient was treated on scene by our ambulance crew but they were not taken to hospital."

Police are investigating the nature of the road traffic collision.

Give a guy a PTZ camera, and he think he owns the world.

Good thing they spaced those guard posts a safe distance apart to keep pedestrians safe from traffic.

and they seem to be even further apart on the opposite side of the street. What's the point? Decoration?

Likely to die from a car hitting you than a cigarette

Poor lady had no chance jumping out of the way even though she probably saw it a'comin' from dozens of yards away; not when you love your food and your smokes so much

Cemetery's right behind her so at least that's convenient.
