Lucy ran across the road when the traffic lights turned orange to catch a bus, with a ute then coming through and collecting her at 80 kilometres an hour.

She claimed it has her fault and delivered the important message “not to be stupid around roads”, while her mum had a similar sentiment.

“Slow down, look both ways and if you’re going to miss that bus, don’t worry there’ll be another one coming,” Carly told Neil Mitchell.
