Hi – I was one of the first on the scene of this accident and along with my brother we helped the girls out of the car. Is there anyway you can let me know how they are all doing?
Thanks

Hi Pip, I was their as well with my wife Kelly and tried to help keep the poor women on the floor as comfortable as possible. So I too would like to know how everyone is including the other driver in the white van?

I have just spoken to one of the policeman who was first on the scene and the woman is still critically ill in hospital but the other young girl was discharged yesterday. If I hear anything else I will let you know.
