    “Drove past a few minutes ago and sadly it didn't look good - blue and white tapes police tapes at Heneage Road end of David Street and policeman stopping traffic entering David Street at the Hainton Avenue end - let's hope the injured child is ok but with such a high police presence 5 hours after the accident the signs are that it was very serious”
