I would just like to say on behalf of my partner and myself a very big thank you to those who came to assist us on Tuesday, May 31 when my partner’s son was knocked down at Foords Corner in a collision with a motorcycle.

We would especially like to thank the lady and gentleman who called an ambulance for us.

Ryan, thankfully, came away with just a few grazes, a stiff knee and a tear to his beloved Arsenal coat – a very lucky 10-year-old boy.

I would like to say, to the minority of motorcyclists, that a lot of caution needs to be taken in traffic that has come to a standstill.

It’s all too easy to weave in and out of the traffic, as this motorcyclist did, but there is often more to it than just a traffic jam.
