Nasty bus crash on Lewes Rd yesterday

Doc Lynam said:

Found out today my Mum was one of the first on the scene having seen the whole thing from her car. Apparently the girl had a very large hood over her face, looked the wrong way down the road and just stepped out infront of a rapidly moving bus. My Mum rushed to the scene having over 30 years nursing experience, 10 in A&E and proceeded to do what she could. Another nurse in the traffic jam assisted, by chasing the Ambulance on the phone as the girl was in such a bad way and transfering information to my mother via a specialist on the phone. She had very shallow breathing and a very faint pulse and when the ambulance arrived the proceeded to treat her in the street for two and half hours before they could move her to a helicopter that had arrived. Needless to say my Mum was shaken by the whole thing and worries if she could had done more. To me she's a hero and i'm very proud of her and others who assisted this girl.
