I am sorry to report that WCM Dinah Norman has had an unpleasant accident and is now in hospital.
She was knocked over by a drugged up motorcyclist who has been arrested and detained.
According to RJ:
The motorbike rider tested positive for cannabis and was arrested at the scene of the accident. Dinah has a broken elbow and collar bone, and also suffered leg and head injuries, losing a lot of blood and requiring a transfusion. She's still in a lot of pain.
I'm sure we all wish Dinah and Ken the best and a speedy recovery!

Some good news and some less good news.
After 7 weeks and 3 days Dinah has left Reading Hospital and gone home.
Unfortunately, on the way to visiting Dinah Ken and Dinah had their car driven into and written off.
