THE driver of the car a little girl crashed into on her bike said she was traumatised and left in tears by the accident.

Ash Truscott had been camping at the caravan park while away on work and was driving to check out when the girl slammed into her car.

“I was trying to be careful not to hit anyone but finally as I was leaving the caravan park to check out, it happened, I cried from shock after,” she said in a Facebook post.

“The hedges were in the way because I did not see her, I pretty much stopped the car when I saw her coming towards me.”

Ms Truscott said she had received abusive messages from people who had seen the video.

“I did actually (get blamed). Not by the people there but by outsiders who saw my video,” she said.

“I was a bit traumatised and been upset all night because people had been leaving nasty comments on this video on my personal Facebook page.”

Dramatic footage from Dashcam Owners Australia shows the little girl turning blind around a corner and crashing headfirst into Ms Truscott’s car.

Details are still emerging of the near tragedy, but we do know the girl’s survival was undoubtedly because she wore a dirt-bike helmet and that Ms Truscott’s car was travelling slowly through park.

The video below shows the anguish on the girl’s face the split second before she is sprawled across the bonnet with the bottom of her helmet making contact at speed.

She is clearly distressed after falling onto the road where bystanders come to her assistance.

Ms Truscott is heard to exclaim loudly.

The girl had been staying at the caravan park on holidays with her family.

The car she ran into reportedly suffered no damage and the girl did not require medical treatment.

The first the caravan park’s management heard about the incident was when the video was uploaded to the internet.
