WE are delighted that seven-year-old Vikki McNeil of Abbey Meads is home from hospital after running into the path of a car.

The injuries she suffered were serious enough but it is chilling to think of how much worse the outcome of this accident could have been.

Vikki says that from now on she will be much more careful when crossing the road.

Hopefully her friends will also have learned the same lesson from what happened to her.
