"That road is like a motorway"
That was how a Liverpool old timer described Derby St. after he was hit in an accident on Saturday lunchtime.
Traffic slowed to a halt while two police officers and a paramedic tended the 65-year-old who was slightly injured while trying to cross from the Railway pub to Railway Road to reach the town centre.
He made a good recovery at the scene although his plans to catch a bus from Ormskirk to Wigan later that afternoon were put on hold...
"I'll be more careful next time," he told QLocal's Roger Blaxall.
The driver of a Ford Fiesta stopped at the scene to help police with their enquiries.
