Man charged after hero mum loses her leg in horror crash near Aldi

A driver has been charged in connection with a horror crash in Wirral that caused a heroic mum to lose her leg.

Ruby Flanagan from Wallasey, was at Bidston Moss Retail Park with her nan on Monday, August 16, 2021, when she and her five-month-old child were involved in a crash. She was walking near Aldi when she was crushed between a silver Mercedes and a blue Volkswagen.

Her sister-in-law Chelsea later said she managed to throw her child clear when she realised she was about to be hit. Ruby, a nurse in Arrowe Park Hospital, was airlifted to Aintree Hospital after the crash and had to have her right leg amputated and the other put into a stabilising cage.
