A 14-year-old girl was knocked down at a pedestrian crossing on the road
A MLA has raised concerns over a busy pedestrian crossing in Carryduff, saying school children are "running the gauntlet every day".
South Belfast Alliance MLA, Paula Bradshaw said: “This incident was entirely predictable, and I am just grateful that the injury in question was not worse on this occasion. The speeding on the approach to this built-up area in Carryduff is so dangerous, and the Department for Infrastructure needs to take responsibility before there is a fatality or life-changing injury. Pupils are running the gauntlet every day on this stretch of the Ballynahinch Road.
A Departmental spokesperson said: “The Department recognises the importance of road safety and we wish the individual involved a speedy recovery.
