22-year-old suffers spinal injury after crashRSS Feed

A 22-year-old woman has sustained neck, knee and spinal injury during a traffic accident at Northop in Flintshire, North Wales, according to reports.

The incident occurred when the blue Peugeot 106 XL Zest crashed on the A55, near junction 33, at 11.40am on December 29th, although it is not known exactly how the collision happened.

Two ambulances attended the scene and the woman was placed on a spinal board and taken to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.

A one-year-old was also in the vehicle at the time, but escaped unscathed.

One witness said: "The car looked fairly banged up. Traffic in the inside lane was stationary for a while but they must have cleared the road and it was moving again."

Meanwhile, a toddler has made a miraculous recovery from a spinal injury he sustained during a traffic accident.

Micah Andrews experienced "internal decapitation" during the collision, when a violent jolt saw his skull separate from his spine.
