Sam Hammam has suffered arm injuries after being hit by a 4 x 4 vehicle in New York.

Hammam was getting into a parked car when he was hit.

"I was lucky, so lucky" he told the Echo.

"Another inch or two closer and I would have been crushed against my own car. It could have been so much more serious. I dread to think what might have happened."

Sam is in the Big Apple with his family. His daughter in law has just given birth to triplets.
