Teenager who was crushed by forklift opens up about amputation | SWNS

A teenager who survived a horrific forklift accident has defied the odds to survive - despite being left with no lower body. Loren Schauers, 19, was driving a forklift across a bridge when he veered off, plummeted 50ft and was pinned to the ground beneath the four ton vehicle. He remained totally conscious the entire time - and look down to see his right arm had exploded and everything below his hips was completely squashed. The young labourer made the brave decision to let medics perform hemicorperectomy surgery - where everything below his waist was amputated - to save his life.
