A mother is calling for lower speed limits after a motorist narrowly avoided her while walking with two young children, wrecking a toy pushchair in the process.
Zoe Claire Lane was out and about in a residential area of Bicester with her eight-year-old and two-year-old, who was pushing a toy pram, when a car "drove through" her daughter's toy pushchair.
Ms Lane said the car had broken the speed limit of 30mph and did not stop.
This took place at around 3.45pm on Wednesday (September 18) in Whitelands Way by the Co-op, which is on the corner of the road.

"I had to pull her hard to save her from being pulled into the road and from under the car," Ms Lane recalled.
"It’s a blind corner and only a matter of time before somebody gets severely hurt there.
"This isn’t my first experience of cars ripping past the Co-op or around that blind corner and I always have hold of my little one tightly.
"I believe that there have been quite a few complaints about this particular stretch of road on Kingsmere."

The mother-of-two is now calling for the road's speed limit to be reduced to 20mph following the incident which left her daughter "beside herself from shock".
"As much as a two-year-old knows about emotions she knew that something bad had happened to her," Ms Lane said.
"There was a lot of consoling from myself and witnesses that saw the incident."
Ms Lane said the incident has been reported to Thames Valley Police.
