Personal Injury London
A woman is fighting for her life after being hit by a car driven by her 17-year-old daughter as she practised reversing.
Sue Duke, in her early 40s, is in a critical condition in hospital after suffering serious head injuries in the freak accident in Cuxton.
Kent Police said she is in intensive care in the Royal London Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
She was hit by the vehicle in the car park of Cuxton Social Club, in Bush Road, on Monday morning.
It is not known if her daughter had passed her driving test or how she came to be hit by the reversing car.
Police were called at about 11.20am by South East Coast Ambulance Service.
A Kent Air Ambulance helicopter was scrambled at about 11.35am and landed in a nearby field.
A spokesman said she had suffered a "very serious head injury" and was flown to a special neurosurgical centre.
Ms Duke – a steward at the club – has lived in Cuxton for most of her life, but is understood to now live in Strood.
Her family are said to be by her hospital bedside.
Family friend Ann Stocker, 63, said: "They are a lovely family and are very well known in the area. They are a very big family in the community and a very friendly family."
