A woman who witnessed Wellington man Stephen Owens being knocked from his bike says she did what anyone else would have.
Erica Cranswick had been walking her 4-year-old son to kindergarten in Havelock North on Thursday, November 13, when she heard a loud "bang" and turned around to see him rolling over the bonnet of a car.
She immediately ran over to ask if he needed an ambulance, but it was soon established he did not have any serious injuries or breakages.
"He hopped around a bit as I think his leg took some of the impact and then lay down on the road on his back," she said.
"He lay there for a bit, think he was trying to check if he had hurt himself badly, he seemed ok so he stood up and moved himself to the footpath."
