CHILD'S NARROW ESCAPE
DRAGGED BEHIND VAN
Only the fortunate circumstance of someone seeing her plight and acting promptly saved a child, Maureen Goldsmith, aged about three, from being badly injured in Hustings. Mr. Sam Graham was attracted by a child's screams as a baker's delivery van was gathering speed past his shop, and he was horrified to see a child clinging to the back bumper of the van and being dragged along the ground. The driver fortunately heard his warning shout to stop and pulled up quickly, and Mr. Graham rushed over and rescued the child who, probably through sheer fright, was still clinging desperately to the bumper bar.
