Pavement cyclist hospitalises woman and clears off quick
It's not known how long the recovery period will be, and Miss Hall notes
"they are looking at facial reconstruction - some breaks they think might heal by themselves but some are so severe and they are out of place". The injuries have forced the former teacher of 25 years to completely change her lifestyle. An avid racewalker, she's represented England and Great Britain in the sport and works in sports massage and therapy. She said: "I can't work at the moment because I've got one arm in plaster and the other in a bandage, but I'll get back to working as soon as possible. "I'm also an athlete so it's affecting my training and I won't be competing for a while. After Miss Hall was knocked to the floor during the incident, on Tuesday, February 18, a passing van stopped near her and a woman - who later transpired to be a nurse - rushed to her aid. "She looked at my face and shined a torch at it," Miss Hall said. "She then took the man's phone and said 'I'm a nurse, my dad's here and we're taking her in the van to the hospital'. "They put me in the van and they took me all the way to A&E. "If I knew who they were, I'd like to say thank you to them as they were absolutely brilliant." The culprit has still not been identified, but a police investigation has been launched. A police spokesman said: "We were contacted on Wednesday, February 19 following an incident in Canterbury Road, Ashford on Tuesday, February 18. "A woman was walking near the junction with Cemetery Lane about 6pm when a cyclist on a bike collided with her and she was injured. "The cyclist reportedly failed to stop at the scene. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/ashford...y-hurt-222740/ |
