A MOTHER wants the Transport Board to say who is going to foot the bill for her accident victim daughter’s medical care.

Dianne Freeman, of 1st Avenue Sealy Land, Bank Hall, St Michael, said the insurance company representing the board had not accepted liability for the accident in which her 14-year-old daughter Erika Leach’s leg was run over by a bus.

Leach suffered a fractured right tibia in the incident which occurred in May 2014.

Freeman said an issue had now arisen where the insurance company claimed the statement Leach gave to police at the scene of the accident was different to the one she gave at the police station days later.
