As a witness to this accident & the person who called the emergency services and stayed with the injured woman until the EMT’s arrived. I would like to rectify your statement. There was no car involved. The female that was injured has just gotten off of a bus and was crossing the road behind the bus. She was hit by a motor cyclist that tried everything to avoid her. I pray she will recover from the severe injuries. My heart goes out to both her & the bike rider who was very shaken up.
Thank you so much for staying with her. That is my friend and her injuries are very serious. May God Bless you.
So sad. Prayers to both of these individuals.
