Mercury Blooper!

A classic from our local paper! "AN 11-year-old boy has been taken to hospital after he was in collision with a car. Paramedics were called to Maidenhead Road, Hertford at 3.48pm today(Friday, November 16). Police closed the road from the Hale Road junction while paramedics treated the youngster." I hope the lad is OK. http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Hertfordshire/Boy-taken-to-hospital-after-being-run-over-16112012.htm

I hope the lad is OK. To be honest, I would have been more surprised if they got it right! Still trying to work out where the junction with Hale Road/Maidenhead Street is as well. http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Hertfordshire/Boy-taken-to-hospital-after-being-run-over-16112012.htm

Another embarrassing inaccuracy from the Mercury Editor for allowing this to be published.
