A Liverpool schoolboy has been left terrified of going to school after a near miss on his morning journey.
Jacob Sheridan, nine, joined hundreds of learners gearing up to head back into the classroom at Gilmour Junior School, Garston, after their six week break last month. However, the year five pupil was the subject of a near miss as he crossed the road to meet a friend and has been left suffering from flashbacks and increased anxiety.
Jacob, accompanied by dad Hugh, walked out from their car sandwiched between a number of parked vehicles and was just inches away from a car coming along Whitehedge Road. The boy was left shaking by the experience, suffering from shortness of breath while meeting with the school’s headteacher with his father.
