A MUM watched in horror as her seven-year-old daughter was killed by a lorry after she’d gone for a ride on her new bike.
“Bubbly” schoolgirl Eloise Jackson had only recently learned to ride when she collided with the wheels of a moving HGV metres from her front door, an inquest has heard.
Devastated mum Laura Jackson told the hearing how she had screamed and ran after Eloise as her daughter pedalled down the hill and into the vehicle, which was carrying 26 tonnes of plastic.
Laura said: “Eloise hopped on her bike despite me telling her not to. I was yelling and screaming. I went to the end of the road and came face to face with a lady who said ‘I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry’.
“All the traffic stopped and I started screaming for someone to call an ambulance.”
