I was playing a gig tonight and saw the scenes just after it happened.
A gritter van turned left at the “no left turn” bit at the top of St Mary’s. Ran over a girl riding a push bike, and then managed to reverse over her leg for the second time. No flesh left on the leg and might have lost an arm as well. Girl is believed to be in her twenties.
Horrific.

Appealing for witnesses...
Hope she makes a speedy recovery.
Edit: sorry, I just realised you said you saw the aftermath, so not a witness.
I arrived about 5 mins or so after it happened so in a way I feel fortunate not to be a witness; to see that happen must've been horrendous. Sincerely hope the lady is in a stable condition.Quote:

Two witnesses told me that everyone was screaming to stop and then he reversed a little bit and went over her leg for the second time.Quote:

God that sounds awful, poor girl.
That end of town is becoming (is) lethal.
Wasn't there 2 accidents with Cardiff Bus, just a bit further down the road last year, with I believe 0ne person killed.
So many signs and lane changes, make it a nightmare in that area.
Thoughts are with the young lass
"Life threatening injuries" - BBC Breakfast news
Poor girl !
Not the actions of a sober driver??? (Note to self: don't rush to judgment)
Too many road signs to understand and too much confusion as to where you can and can't go in such a small area. It's a nightmare down that end of town.
Hope she pulls through.

In this case though you'd think the driver would know exactly where he was going.
Dreadful accident for all concerned, driver and witnesses included.
Yes, hopefully the young lady pulls through.
Says she is in a critical but stable condition. Poor girl.
