A THREE-year-old girl who survived being hurled from the bonnet of a car before being crushed under its wheels has been described as 'a little miracle', reports the Lancashire Telegraph.

Doctors at Alder Hey Children's Hospital said they were amazed three-year-old Isobelle Milligan, who was airlifted for treatment from near Ewood Park, in Blackburn, survived her ordeal.

Mum Carla, 25, said she watched in horror as her daughter was knocked down and frantically chased the car up the street calling for it to stop.

She was forced to abandon her 17-week-old baby Scarlett in her pushchair as she raced to save her daughter, who suffered head injuries in the incident which happened in Nuttal Street, next to the Blackburn Rovers' Ground on Friday.

Mrs Milligan said Isobelle was recovering well after two days in the critical care ward despite head injuries, a bruised lung and a small bleed to her liver.
