I am a lollipop lady who was hit by a van and I have a video message from hospital for the kids
A beloved lollipop lady who was hit by a van in front of horrified schoolchildren and their parents has recorded a video message to let them know she is doing okay.
Marion Wade, who is in her 60s, is still recovering in hospital from a broken hip after being hit by a lorry outside Ribby with Wrea Endowed Church of England Primary School earlier this month.
Headteacher of the school Sarah Robson said at the time that all the staff and children adore her and were very upset.
Sending a video message from her hospital bed, Marion said she was in good spirits and thanked everyone for their Get Well cards
She said: “I’m doing alright thank-you. I hope everyone is alright at the school.
“Thank you to everybody for the cards and the lovely flowers that I received from the school. That’s very kind of you all.”
She signed her video message off by saying that she hoped to see everyone soon.
