The woman, who it’s thought was 30 weeks pregnant, remains in a critical condition
Residents living close to where a woman lost her baby in a hit-and-run crash say she was knocked ‘30 feet’ and may have been ‘going to work’.
They said: “What we saw on it was this car, it must have been doing 80mph. There are traffic lights to the left, so it’s obviously gone through them as well at such a speed. The resident said police and ambulance teams had quickly arrived on the scene and neighbours had put blankets on the woman, who was left unconscious. And they had later heard through other locals that the victim worked at a care home.
“They do 8pm to 8pm at care homes. This was about 7.45pm when it happened, so she might have been going to work or going away." Local residents wrote tributes on social media following the boy’s death and shared their hopes that the woman, from Bamber Bridge, would pull through.
