I WOULD like to thank three people that came to my aid. My mobility scoter for some reason went into free running down a steep slope at Boscombe. At some speed my machine hit the wall, turned over with me trapped under it. The man and women saw me turn over from the beach. They both ran very quickly to help me up. My arm was bleeding. They got a lifeguard to help me stop the bleeding. They also helped my take my mobility scooter to my beach hut. The front wheel was broken. They were so good. I am only sorry I was not able to remember all the names due to a bit of shock and hurt.

The lady was Samantha. I know this as she took time to come back to my hut to see if I was still okay. I was so thankful of their help. I just want to say a big thank you to them all.
