The picture looks like northdown rd by the shops up from Cecil sq!
That isn’t Devonshire Gardens, unless they have redesigned Margate recently.
The picture is from the earlier incident, the details are underneath it
So is it a motorbike or moped
Now clarified as a motorbike.
The picture is for the second incident mentioned in Margate at Hawley Street.
The photo is of the second incident involving a taxi and white car. I know its taxi as just been shown photos of damage as passenger in taxi is relative of a work colleague they have broken arm
By looks of it it’s two story’s in one the picture goes with the writing under picture.
The Devonshire Gardens was a moped and car as the moped was my stepson who went to qeqm and then airlifted to William Harvey possibly going to King’s soon
Thank you, I had conflicting responses from police and ambulance. I do hope your stepson will be ok.
I hope he is going to be ok soon. sounds scary.
He has had surgery today as has compound fractured femur in 3 places.
