“She was knocked in the air and thankfully no serious damage was caused apart from cuts, bruises, sore back, neck and in shock,” he said.

“She was laid on the floor and an ambulance was called but didn’t show up until 3am. They were advised not to move her but did because she was in shock and really cold they took her back to the caravan she was staying in.

“The woman who drove into her sped off and was in a white Corsa. Any witnesses or information let me know.”

Laura White posted: “After the woman had hit my auntie, my uncle and another person tried flagging them down and shouting them to stop but unfortunately just put their foot down and drove off.”
