"I only know what my work colleagues have told me. They say someone ran into the showroom and said I had been knocked down by a car.

"They ran out and saw a few people around. They all helped me to get up but they said I was crying and screaming.

"They got me to the showroom and tried to put me on a chair. But I was so scared that I just stayed on the floor and I just cried and screamed.

"I also needed five or six stitches to my upper lip. I lost two of my teeth. I can't really eat, it's really hard to eat. There is a lot of pain in my jaw and bruises all around my body."

She said: "I've been crying a lot. I can't see myself in the mirror because of how I look."

Some of Star's friends have set a Gofundme page up on her behalf, so that she can pay for her dental work.

A Northumbria Police spokesperson said:  "Shortly after 4.45pm on December 23 we received a report a pedestrian had been in collision with a car on Portland Road, near Warwick Street.

"Emergency services attended and a 24-year-old woman was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
