A daughter has spoken about the "devastating" injuries she endured after she and her mum were hit by a car that mounted the pavement. Fitness professional Tara Oakley and her mum, Charlotte, were walking in Newthorpe, near Nottingham, on December 26, 2021, when a car - being driven by a 90-year-old - came on to the path.
The pair were walking on the pavement along the B600 Moorgreen near to the junction of Engine Lane, when a car mounted the kerb at around 2.30pm and hit Tara and her 73-year-old mum. Tara was flung on to the windscreen before rolling down a grass verge and hitting a tree.
Both were taken to a hospital, with Charlotte suffering a broken back, pelvis and head injury from the incident. Tara suffered a broken right arm and shoulder, a fractured left knee, a double break to her left leg, and ligament damage to her knees.
