The mum of an East Kilbride schoolboy has recalled the horror moment a car ploughed into her son.Mum-of-five Shareen Hussain said the sound of the vehicle striking nine-year-old Ayaan Manir still haunts her months after his accident.

The youngster was crossing Bridge Street, Paisley, on September 16, when he was thrown in the air after being hit by a car in front of his mum and three siblings, Adeem, 6, Zaidan, 4 and Alayna, 18 months.Heartbroken Shareen told the Daily Record she turned her back for a 'split second' before hearing a huge bang.The 40-year-old, who quickly ran to her son's aid, added: "I had crossed Ayaan over to get us a parking ticket and when he was crossing back over disaster struck.

I turned my back for like a split second and then I heard this very loud noise. I thought a bus had blown its tyre before I realised what happened."When I turned around, the first thing I saw was Ayaan's shoe lying in the middle of the road and then I noticed his body was further up.

There was blood everywhere. My heart dropped and I just remember screaming his name over and over again."Shareen said Ayaan was unresponsive and lying in the fetal position.
