hi all -
i just saw this post -
One of my very close friends' father is the man who was hit by the police car.
I went to the hospital a few weeks ago to visit, he has been stabilized but he is in a coma. He had several broken ribs, and other bones, and his jaw was broken in a dozen places.
The doctor's don't know whether he will pull through, it is pretty uncertain at this point because from what I understand there is no way to really assess the damage to the brain.
I'm partially writing now because I know the family wants to get in contact with any witnesses.
Since it happened outside the pub they are going to ask there if they can use it to call for witnesses. But as we can see from this thread there may be some people on here who were witness to the accident. If you did see something please don't hesitate to contact me by PM and I will get you in touch with the family. This would be an amazing help to them in a pretty grim situation.
As you can probably deduce this accident is not only tragic in the sense that there is a beloved friend / father / husband / brother in a coma but it is also a bit controversial because of police involvement. The police will do their best to protect their own, and from what I understand the family must do the same to make sure if things go to trial the proceedings are fair and truthful.
Any help would be great. Thanks for reading.
