A MUM has blasted one of Britain’s biggest supermarkets for their ‘lack of humanity’ after she was hit by a car - breaking her foot.

Marion Renaghan-Stenson, 53, had gone Christmas shopping to Sainsbury’s in Clitheroe, when she was struck by the vehicle in the store’s car park.

The mother-of-four, from Little Harwood, suffered injuries to her leg and foot following the incident in Moor Lane shortly after 11am on Monday.

After a trip to Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital, Ms Stenson had her foot put in a cast and is now having to use crutches.

She has now slammed Sainsbury’s after she said staff from the store did not come to aid to help after the incident.

But Sainsbury's claimed staff at the store offered to call an ambulance and administer first aid at the time of the incident.

Ms Stenson said: “I had been Christmas shopping in the store and was walking back to my car in the Sainsbury’s car park in Clitheroe on Monday morning when a car came round the corner.

“It hit me in the back of my legs and ran over them and my foot.

“Everything happened so quickly and before I knew it, I had been knocked over onto the floor.

“The car wasn’t going fast round the corner and I think the sun caught the driver’s eyes and he didn’t see me.

“My foot is now in a cast and I’m in crutches and off work for at least four weeks and can’t drive which is making things difficult. “

Rather than stop to see if she was okay, Ms Stenson said the driver parked their car up and went to do their shopping.

It was only when a hero Army officer and another passer-by spotted Ms Stenson hurt that she was helped and taken by ambulance to hospital.

Ms Stenson said she is particularly annoyed at the lack of compassion from staff in the Sainsbury’s store.

She said: “The Army officer went in the store to ask if a staff member could come out as I’d been hit but no one did.

“My sister complained to the store’s head office but I got a phone back on Tuesday saying nothing could be done as I wasn’t their responsibility.

“I just find this lack of compassion and humanity startling.”

A spokesman for Sainsbury's said they would contact Ms Stenson to 'apologise' for her experience and wish her a 'speedy recovery.'

The spokesman said: "We're also arranging a gesture of goodwill.”

An ambulance service spokeswoman said: “We were called at 11.03am to reports of a collision involving a pedestrian and vehicle.

“A woman was taken by ambulance to Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital with leg and foot injuries.”
