In a concerning incident today, a child was struck by a car right outside Palmerston Primary School in Barry. This unfolded on Dobbins Road around 3 pm on Wednesday, 11th February. Fortunately, the youngster’s injuries are not considered serious.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing a presence from both the police and the Welsh Ambulance Service at the scene. Due to the accident, the road was temporarily partially blocked, but it has since been reopened.
