A young girl was horrified when she saw her mother get hit by a car while the whole family was walking over a pelican crossing in Cheshire earlier this week, repeatedly saying to her mum "I thought you were dead". The elderly driver of the vehicle that hit her claimed he had a right of way, before driving off.
