'I could see the pushchair upside down in the road'

A mother tells Alex Ross she feared her son had died after the pair were struck by the car driven into the Liverpool parade

A mother dragged on the bonnet of a car at the Liverpool parade has shared the horrifying moment she spotted her six-month-old baby’s pram lying upside down in the road after the pair were hit by the vehicle.

Sheree Aldridge feared she and her son, Teddy, would die after the Ford Galaxy ploughed into them in Water Street on Monday evening. The 36-year-old was pushing the pram alongside her partner Dan Eveson when they saw an ambulance making its way down the road, followed by a sudden noise that sounded like a brawl.

“I don’t like fighting and get really anxious, so I turned around and wanted to get the baby out of the way,” she told The Independent from her hospital bed yesterday. Then I remember someone shouting ‘car’ and then I was literally on the bonnet, travelling for what felt like a while before I got thrown off and the car went over my leg.
