Mum-of-three says 'kids are still traumatised' after being run over in Doncaster school playground

Donna Buckley Wright was with her three young children at Toft Long Primary School on Friday, October 13, when a car 'jerked forward' and smashed through a fence.

The car pinned Donna's five-year-old son, Keaton, against a wall and left her eldest Layla, 9, trapped under the vehicle.

Donna's two-year-old daughter, Jessica-Leigh, was also injured as the 35-year-old threw the pram to safety as the car hurtled towards them.

Layla was airlifted to Sheffield Children's Hospital after the distressing crash and has been left with a broken arm and 'tyre marks on her side'.

Although Keaton and Jessica-Leigh thankfully escaped without serious injuries, Donna said that the children have suffered serious emotional trauma.

She said: "The car pulled into the car park as we were walking to school. It jerked forward but I didn't think anything of it.

"The next thing I know the car is coming towards me and pinning my son to the wall. My daughter was lying underneath and I started to panic.

"A group of parents helped left the car off them but it was just chaos. It was a horrible experience and the kids are emotionally traumatised by what has happened.

"It could have been much worse. My dad died in a car accident when I was two and now I'm jumping at any fast car that goes past me."

South Yorkshire Police said the car was "performing a manoeuvre" at the time of the collision at Long Toft Primary School in Doncaster, South Yorks.

A South Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: "Just before 8.40am this morning, emergency services were called to reports of a collision in Doncaster.

"It is reported that a car was involved in a collision with three children, while performing a manoeuvre in the car park of a primary school on Church Road.

Donna said that Keaton went back to school on Thursday but hasn't been able to stop talking about the crash, while Layla only returned this morning.
