It's the kind of thing that'll make parents everywhere grip their children's hands that little bit tighter the next time they get ready to cross the road. This shocking footage, captured on nearby CCTV, shows a little girl almost hit by a bus after it drove through a pedestrian crossing near a primary school while the green man light was on.
The incident, which took place on Newport 's busy Somerton Road yesterday afternoon, shows Tracy Flynn and her six-year-old daughter Courtney making their way home to nearby Mansel Street. After waiting at the kerb for the light at the pedestrian crossing to turn to green both step out, but little Courtney runs ahead.
A bus can then be seen driving through the crossing narrowly missing her. However, after initially hitting the brakes to avoid a collision, the driver then appears to continue on without stopping.
