Former police officer Simon Middleweek, 62, spotted the children on the road and ran out of his house to help them.\n\nHe said: 'It was horrendous. There was a group of 20 to 30 children attempting to navigate Crown East Lane.'\n\n'The road has no paths or lighting and it was night time. I'm surprised someone wasn't killed.'
The youngsters were captured on CCTV trying to cross a busy road apparently unsupervised Furious parents expressed their anger after dozens of ‘unsupervised’ cub scouts got lost and were ‘forced to dodge cars’ on a night-time map-reading exercise. Up to 30 children, some as young as seven, were found by residents walking along a 40mph road in Worcester in darkness and without adults.
Parents say their children could have been killed ‘My understanding is the parents had no idea this was going to take place and thought the cubs would be doing navigation work in a small enclosed paddock next to the scout hut.’ He said a lot of cars on the road fail to stick to the 40mph speed limit, making it particularly dangerous. Jeremy Wilkinson, whose ten-year-old son was on the hike, said he was ‘extremely angry’ when he found out what happened.
