A mum whose son broke six bones in his neck when he was hit by a car on his way to school said she still feels awful whenever she drops him off in the morning.
Kelly Louise Newell, 40, said her son, Thomas Willemsen, who was 12, was lucky to be alive after crossing from one side of Spital Road to the other, close to the Three Stags pub, to meet a friend on his way to school when a Ford Fiesta knocked him to the ground.
The incident happened close to the busy Spital crossroads junction, which Kelly called "disorganised chaos".
