REGARDING the incident on October 13 in which a nine-year-old girl was knocked down by a car in Oswaldtwistle, your story omitted to mention that passers-by also stopped to help - including myself and a man on a bike.
We put her in a recovery position and another man directed traffic away.
I think it would be a good idea for people who have just moved into the area, as this girl's family had, to be given an information pack showing the danger spots like busy roads.
My deepest regrets to the family after hearing of the girl's death.
DAVE BERRY, Roe Greave Road, Oswaldtwistle.
