A teen horse rider was 'millimeters from death' after hitting the side of a lorry when the driver hurtled past at 40mph and spooked the animal - but didn't even bother stopping. Grace Crofts, 15, was riding her horse Bella with step-sister Ellie Jarosiewicz, 17, when a wagon zoomed past.
Dashcam footage shows the sisters and their horses being overtaken by two slow-moving cars before a large white vehicle roars into view from the opposite direction. The clip shows four-year-old Bella becoming spooked and trying to turn away from the HGV but, in a panic, she and Grace collided with the side of the vehicle.
The terrified schoolgirl called her mum Zoe Jarosiewicz, 42, who raced to the scene and helped Grace home. Grace went to hospital the day after where she was treated for a muscle injury to her left leg after it had slammed into the lorry, and is suffering flashbacks from the incident.
