I know somebody who has assisted at a few accidents before Ambulance and Police have arrived. On occasions it has been him who has called the ambulance. In all he has attended children were hurt in they were either not restrained at all or not correctly. He is not too sympathetic towards neglectful parents.

This is one accident that should never have happened. Such a sad thing at any time but more poignant because it is almost Christmas.

I really hope that kid was restrained- not that it matters now, but that is just irresponsible parenting. Yes the driver shouldn’t have been behind the wheel but restraints are there for such emergencies…

I see so many kids not restrained properly in cars. People are insane. You can’t just go to kmart and replace your kids! You shouldn’t be having babies if you can’t be bothered doing everything you can to keep them safe.

Cars kill – when will people realise this and take more responsibility when driving?

What a tragic incident.
A disqualified learner driver, passengers not wearing seatbelts and children that aren’t properly restrained….these people will feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

Was it really worth having someone like this driving, whether it is her fault or not. She would not have the experience of road sense to know how to react. Christmas has been wreaked for this family indeed.

This is terrible! I think long jail time is definitely needed here! Down from my house a Ls learner without a guardian speeding and smashed into a car with 2 parents and a child! It’s so wrong! And the driver got just a smack on the hand..

  Not nice at all. Police should have been tougher!!

Poor little girl! She was so young. Was she really not wearing a seat belt? And why was that woman driving despite the disqualification?

A disaster waiting to happen. Poor family.

She should have not been driving full stop.

It sounds like there’s a lot of fault to go around. Poor child.
