John Terry Helps Young Girl Struck by Car Near His Home

Chelsea skipper John Terry showed his compassionate side by coming to the aid of a child who had been struck by a car near his Surrey home.

According to The Sun, the 35-year-old was driving home when he happened upon a nine-year-old girl who had been struck by a Mini Cooper. 

The youngster appeared to have a serious head injury and was screaming in pain, prompting JT to spring into action. A witness said:

"

John arrived just after it happened and was at the scene of the accident with the young girl.

The emergency services had already been called, but John got onto the phone to local people in the area who he knew were nearby—as he thought might be able to help her quicker.

He then went back to his car to get out a blanket or a jumper, and placed it over the the child to help calm them down.

He want to try and make the girl as comfortable as possible. Then he stayed with her until the ambulances came, caring for her as best as he could.

He was only doing what anyone else would have done in the same circumstances.”

"

The girl was taken to hospital by ambulance, where she made a full recovery.
