Bloody hell, Haverstock Rd is always chaos at school pick up time. Hope the kid's alright. Drivers need to slow the f down in residential streets.

Moderate injuries thank god. Could've been so much worse. Sending good vibes to the family.

Ella Thompson2026-06-29T05:18:06.000Z

another one? ffs what is it with drivers and not watching for kids. my heart goes out to the family

Jordan Bell2026-06-29T06:06:06.000Z

Is this road safe? I was thinking of visiting Sandringham but now I'm worried.

Ella Thompson2026-06-29T05:46:06.000Z

Poor little one. Hope they recover quickly. So scary for the parents.

Reese Morgan2026-06-29T06:43:06.000Z

exactly. my friend's kid got hit on a zebra crossing last month. drivers just don't stop

Jordan Bell2026-06-29T06:17:06.000Z

bet the driver was on their phone. seen so many parents doing school pickup with one hand on the wheel and the other scrolling

Used to walk my kids along that road. The council needs speed bumps or something. It's a rat run.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-29T07:04:06.000Z

good point. speed bumps would slow em down but council won't spend the money

Sky Murphy2026-06-29T06:37:06.000Z

Awareness is key! Drivers, please put your phones down and watch for kids.

Sky Murphy2026-06-29T07:32:06.000Z

This! Phones are a menace. My kid nearly got hit last year cause a driver was looking at instagram.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-29T06:47:06.000Z

Thinking of the whānau. 🙏

Mia Carter2026-06-29T06:53:06.000Z

Just heard about this. So sad. Hope they catch whoever did this if it wasn't an accident.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-29T07:09:06.000Z

yeah nah the driver stopped apparently so it wasn't a hit and run. still awful though
