Simon's Alpine charity challenge.
(From The Journal)
Byline: Chris Robinson
A SNOWBOARDING fanatic is going back to the slopes to thank surgeons who saved his legs after a horrific car accident.
Simon Wilson was nearly killed in a road smash with a 40-tonne truck six years ago.
Surgeons at Dryburn Hospital, Durham, spent six hours carrying out painstaking surgery to rebuild his legs, replacing both thigh bones with 18-inch metal pins.
He also suffered a shattered knee cap, a broken collar bone and fractured ribs in the accident at Cadger Bank, Lanchester, County Durham, in January 2003. But the father-of-two is well on the road to a full recovery and is about to hit the slopes of the Alps for a charity challenge.
Mr Wilson, of Stanhope, Weardale, said: "It was a bad crash and a very close call. My wife was pregnant at the time.
