Jack Leitch

-

The mum of a nine-year-old girl hit by a bus in Wishaw Main Street has spoken of how her daughter could have been killed in the horrific accident.

Cassidy Preston suffered a broken pelvis, a punctured lung and injuries to her foot and ribs after being struck by the vehicle as she crossed the road last September.

Now her mum, Michelle, has made a heartfelt plea to the council to install safety barriers at the £8million Streetscap­e project before there is a tragedy. Motherwell ace Jack Leitch knows finishing fourth may land him a new contract at Fir Park.

The son of Well legend Scott is out of contract in the summer but after impressing in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Hearts he is hopeful of landing a new deal.

The midfielder wants to help fire the Steelmen to a fourth-place finish to help boost the club’s finances.

Elsewhere, more than 1000 youngsters attended the Dalziel festival of youth.
