Apparently a child was  injured which resulted in a fatality at a caravan/ camp site near Helston, Cornwall yesterday.. I have no further information on this sad incident, but let it be a reminder to all of us of the potential dangers to other's whilst on sites.

    That's very sad.

    I've seen nothing on local news as yet.

    Steve L has provided an update..........thank you Steve, I had heard she was hit by a car, but had not seen it confirmed so therefore did not want to add the cause . Once again it doesn't matter whose fault it was ,it is a child that has lost their little life, we all have to be more vigilant.

    Apparently a car towing a caravan was involved and the child was only 20 months old. Whatever the child's family and the driver of the vehicle are going through now must be hell.

    Kiddies often have no road sense, or they forget it. We need to think for them.

     ... Kids don't need to have road sense, they're on their holidays, whereas drivers, cyclists etc do.

    I'm glad you've said that. There have been far far too many posts here in the past re kids on push bikes 'breaking speed limits' & 'going against one way systems'

    +1, I wonder if some folk were ever children or have Ever known children. One of the joys of childhood is going hell for leather whilst simultaneously letting their daft out-it’s a joy to see👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Until parents and other on site cyclists set an example by not going against the one way system, what chance is there of children not doing the sameundecided
