Car jumps onto London pavement, kills Pinay

A Filipino nanny working in the United Kingdom was killed when a sports car jumped onto a pavement and crushed her on King's Road in London, a report on the Daily Mail said. Three others, the Nov 26 report said, were injured. The Filipina was identified as 33-year-old Susette Flordauza. Flordauza, who has a daughter in the Philippines, had been working as a nanny and cleaner for a Chelsea family and was on her way to a bus stop when the accident occurred. She was airlifted to Charing Cross Hospital where she died from serious head injuries. Ms Flordauza's employer, who did not want to be named, said: "She was an extremely likeable person. She had not seen her little daughter for three years." "She was planning to visit her and her mother on 14 December back in the Philippines. It is such a tragedy," the employer told Daily Mail. The report - quoting witnesses - said that the car, a 1975 Porsche 911, was traveling slowly when it suddenly accelerated, jumped into the pavement and slam into the pedestrians. Flordausa was trapped between the bonnet of the 1975 Porsche 911 and the wall of a building. A police spokesman said that the driver of the car, a 64-year-old man, was admitted to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital suffering from an illness. - GMANews.TV
