🚨 Bristol’s Mystery Hero Alert! 🚨
Meet Sally, a restaurant manager from Clifton, who recently had a terrifying brush with disaster while riding an e-scooter. On a dimly-lit Redland Road, she hit a nasty pothole, leading to a dramatic fall. Despite being a cautious rider and her first e-scooter adventure in two years, she ended up with serious injuries—a deep head cut, five fractured ribs, and a fractured collarbone. Ouch! 😣
But amidst the chaos, a mystery saviour named Matthew emerged. Finding Sally injured, he swiftly decided to drive her to the hospital himself after realising an ambulance wouldn’t arrive quickly. Thanks to his speedy actions, Sally got medical attention in time. Now, she’s on the lookout for this Good Samaritan to thank him personally. Know a Matthew with a hero complex? 😉
Sadly, Sally faces eight weeks off work with just statutory sick pay. Bristol’s notorious pothole problem pushes her to consider legal action against the city council. She claims the pothole-riddled roads—not the scooter—are the real culprit here.
🚧 Bristol City Council, on your watch! With thousands of potholes filled last year alone, it’s a daunting task. Councillor Ed Plowden assures us repairs remain a priority, though more funds are desperately needed to tackle the road woes effectively.
Injuries on e-scooters aren’t rare. Nationwide, such incidents are on the rise. With poor road surfaces proving hazardous, urgent attention is required for road safety.
Ever been rescued by a kind stranger on the road, or got pothole stories? Share your experiences and let’s appreciate those unsung heroes! 🙌
