THE church warden of St Michaels in Hightown was knocked over by a Royal Mail van last week.

Hugh Malkin, 80, was hit by the royal mail van at around 10.30am last Wednesday, February 26 at Civic Way.

He was taken to Leighton Hospital where he is apparently receiving treatment for a hip operation and pneumonia.

Royal Mail spokesperson, Val Bodden, said: “We can confirm that one of our delivery vans was involved in a road traffic incident involving an elderly pedestrian last week in Civic Way, Middlewich.

"We are working with the police who have been investigating this incident.”

The Police added: “At 10.28am on 26 February 2014 emergency services attended a collision involving a red Vauxhall van and a pedestrian in Civic Way, Middlewich.

“The pedestrian, an 80-year-old local man was taken to Leighton Hospital with a leg injury which he is currently being treated for.”

Think everybody, including the newspaper in question and the public at large, should wait until the investigation before apportioning any blame.

I, for one, get fed up with pedestrians that just step out on me, then have the cheek to moan when I just miss them.
