A schoolgirl ends up spending the rest of her school vacation in the hospital and is having trouble walking after a motorcycle hits the sidewalk, blows her away, and slows her down.
Emily McGregor's legs were in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotlandat around 7:40 pm on Saturday (August 6) when she was killed in a horrific hit-and-run. I broke my bones badly.
When a 10-year-old boy was playing with a friend, one of her two motorcycle riders climbed onto the sidewalk and knocked the boy over.
The two of her, who were on motorcycles, drove off, after which police sought information on the identities of the two of her.
Her 33-year-old mother of two, who is heavily pregnant, was at the scene with her son after receiving a distressing call that her daughter had been beaten. I rushed over.

The incident happened just weeks after Emily was appointed as a sports ambassador. She said she was disappointed not to know when she would be able to play sports again.
"It was Saturday and Emily and her friends had just met to go out and play. But five minutes later she got a call from a friend who said Emily had been hit by a motorcycle and ran into the street and her son called an ambulance," Laura told Edinburgh Live.
"An ambulance came and a second ambulance came and took her to Sick Kids. She had to move her leg and was put in a cast. It was too tight and I was using crutches, but I had a lot of broken legs, so the cast was very heavy and I had a lot of trouble using crutches."
Emily talked with her mother about the shocking incident and explained what had happened.A friend called me and her brother called an ambulance.
"Emily You've handled it pretty well, but I'm worried about the psychological impact and future scars.She was out on the road playing with friends and that should never have happened. The group (motorcycle drivers) are always riding their bikes around here.”
