Waitress left shaken after near-miss in Takapuna A waitress at a Takapuna restaurant has told the Observer of her shock after narrowly avoiding being hit by a car which lost control and mounted the footpath. Karen Edde (29) was taking a break outside Botticelli restaurant on Anzac St, at 10.43pm on 29 May when she saw a car
speeding towards her. She ducked back into the restaurant, narrowly avoiding being struck by the vehicle, which witnesses said was a BMW. “I’m lucky the door was open,” she said. Police say she is lucky to be alive. A 19-year-old has since appeared in the
North Shore District Court in relation to the incident, charged with dangerous driving. He was remanded to appear again this week, when he was expected to enter a plea. Edde said the incident was “very very scary”. To page 4
