Strangers stop their car after spotting girl, 12, outside petrol station

A mum has thanked strangers who rushed to help her daughter after she cut her leg open.

Jasmine McFadzean was outside a BP garage on Scarisbrick New Road, Southport, with her friends and her twin sister Jessica after school when the 12-year-old fell off a wall and cut her leg open.

Her mum, Tracie Eatock, was gobsmacked when she found out a number of people failed to stop until a woman driving past with her friend came to help.

As the woman and her friend helped Jasmine, her sister Jessica rang their mum to tell her what had happened.

The ladies who stopped to help the girls managed to flag down an ambulance that was driving past. The ambulance pulled over and the paramedics took a look over the injured high school pupil.

They bandaged the leg before her dad arrived to take her to hospital to get stitches.

The 36-year-old mum took to Facebook to thank the kind strangers.

She posted: "Just like to say a big thank you to the ladies who stopped to help my daughter today. She fell off a wall at BP garage and badly cut her leg open.

"After a few people looking and walking past her, some people stopped and got out the car and waited with her and gave her and her sister a blanket as they were both in shock and then waited with them until my partner could get to her.

"After a trip to hospital some gas and air and some stitches, she is fine. Not sure who these lovely people are but I really appreciate you staying with her and trying to keep her calm."

Tracie thanked the women who helped her daughter after she found one of them on Facebook. Speaking about Kathryn Langford, the woman driving, she told the ECHO : "I just want to say a massive thank you. If it wasn't for the ladies that pulled over I think my daughter would have been in a worse situation."
