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.
