A customer came in and said 'did you see what happened?"'<br /><br />Another worker from a nearby business, who also wished to remain anonymous, added: "I do not know how they were not killed or more seriously hurt.<br /><br />"The girl injured her leg and the mum was traumatised as you can imagine. She must have acted on mother's instinct.<br /><br />"How the pram has ended up under the vehicle without the child in it, when she was pushing her along in it, is a miracle really. <br /><br />"They were just a split second from it being a lot worse.
