A driver says he has had flashbacks after rescuing a child he claims was playing next to a main road in Nottinghamshire. Aaron Hawkins, 43, claims he spotted the child, who he said was no older than five, walking up the side of the A453 outside the Little Toes Day Nursery on Green Lane, Clifton at around 11am on Tuesday, September 13.
According to Mr Hawkins, the child was about to step into the road when he stepped in and moved him away from the busy route. Mr Hawkins, who lives in Wollaton and has his own young son, said he could not believe the situation he witnessed.
"It happened at around 11am right next to the nursery, I was turning right into Green Lane where the nursery is and there was a little boy who was running forwards and backwards along the pavement. I was thinking 'where are the parents?', and then he's run to the crossing as I've gone through and I've thought 'oh my god'.
