"Aaishah Mohammed, now 14, had been walking her younger sister, then 8, home from school and had turned back to attend football practice on Black Prince Road in Kennington when the crash happened, her mother Farhia said. Although the road has a 20mph speed limit, Farhia, said a speeding car came around the corner and drove right into her daughter, throwing her to the ground. Aaishah struck her face on the car's bonnet, suffering broken teeth and bleeding from the mouth,"
"To this day she has been traumatised, as we all are, and still has a loss of sensation in her knee nearly two years later, she said. There was blood everywhere. She looked so scared. The surgery was traumatic, and my daughter was off school for several weeks, falling behind in class. She had to have emergency dental surgery and now has a prosthetic tooth."
