Woman hit by mobility scooter

[Westhoughton Dave]

EDIT: Can i point out that i am sorry for the woman involved and hope she makes a good recovery, but somewhere in my sick brain, the idea of someone making off in a scooter after a hit and run seemed funny ..)

Thought some of you might need cheering up after last mights predictable farce (i was there when we lost to Bury, i wasn't going through it again, besides i was at work til 8.30!)


POLICE are hunting the hit and run driver of a mobility scooter who left a 77-year-old woman with horrific leg injuries.

The elderly man crashed into Dorothy Hudson, aged 77, as she walked along Knowsley Street in Bolton town centre.

But instead of stopping, he fled the scene on the scooter.

i wish the minority of users who do daft things like ride on the road in heavy traffic and make things worse, or those impatient ones who scutch around like they are on some big race and have a go at you if you don't instantly let them through..

Those things are fecking dangerous. They either tonk it round on the pavement making people leap out of the way or think it their privelage to go in the middle of the road at 5mph. Get rid of em I say!

happened somewhere else the other week a old woman joyrider hit some n'other woman and fecked off and the poor bastard she ran over died.

"we can't ride on the roads its too dangerous"

Last year one of my lecturers cruised around on one of these because he had MS. Once he turned up about 10 minutes late for a lecture and apologised, giving the reason that he'd rolled his scooter on a kerb. Talk about not knowing whether to hide laughter or not.
