Shocked mum finds injured man in road
A mum has described the frightening moment she discovered a man in the middle of the road with a head injury.
Susannah Adams was driving home from a puppy training class in Nettlestead with husband Brian and 13-year-old daughter Ellen when they saw the man in Rectory Lane, Barming.
She said: “I saw someone lying in the middle of the road.
“Another lady and two young men were also there.
“He was looking up at the sky quite vacantly and there was lots of blood coming out of his head.”
The 40-year-old mum-of-two tried to keep the casualty talking until the emergency services arrived.
She managed to establish he had Parkinson’s disease but then he became unresponsive.
Mrs Adams, of The Tail Race, Tovil Green, said two men lifted him out of the road and she helped put him in the recovery position.
She said the family had only driven that route home because Teston Bridge was shut.
An ambulance spokesman said the man was taken to Tunbridge Wells Hospital. He was released on the following day.
Police said the incident was not being treated as suspicious.
