Blind woman with guide dog knocked into hedge by lorry which mounted pavement

Police are investigating after a blind woman with a guide dog was hit by a lorry and knocked into a hedge while she was walking on the pavement.

The incident happened in the Ceredigion village of Adpar, near the town of Newcastle Emlyn.

The woman was walking along a footpath when the lorry mounted the pavement and struck her.

While she was not injured, police have said she was left badly shaken by the incident.

Officers confirmed the driver of the lorry did not stop and they are now appealing for witnesses.

If you see a crash, this is what you should do:

A spokeswoman for Dyfed-Powys Police said: “We are investigating an incident just outside Newcastle Emlyn, which happened at around 5.15pm on Monday, September 16.

“A woman was walking along the footpath on Bryndioddef Hill, Adpar, when a lorry mounted the pavement and struck her. The woman was knocked into a hedge, and her walking stick was badly damaged.

“She was not injured, but was extremely shaken. Officers are appealing for anyone who saw the incident, or saw a white articulated lorry driving along the road around the time of the incident, to get in touch.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dyfed-Powys Police by calling 101.
