I’m sure most people will have heard about the incident outside a school in South Wales, where a driver ploughed 
into children, hospitalizing several.
Now that things have calmed down a bit, the driver is claiming that he blacked out after coughing. I’m sure that the authorities themselves will decide if this is a valid excuse of not, but I find it difficult to accept that this could happen at all, or – at the very least – that someone to whom it could happen so easily should even be driving a car. Especially an Audi, which is designed to go fast in the first place.
There are also calls for the school crossing patroller to be “recognised” for attempting to shield the children from the rampaging car armed only with her patroller’s “lollipop”. She ended up with two broken knees, a broken shoulder, broken elbow, and cuts and bruises. All extremely painful, and all the kinds of injuries that take a long time to recover from – if at all. But it could all have been a whole lot worse.
