A Scots biker who shattered so many bones in a horror crash that his X-ray looked like "a packet of crisps" now faces learning how to walk again. Charlie Phillips was riding on a friend's motorcycle in Edinburgh on May 10 when a car pulled out in front of him, causing him to collide with the rear passenger door.
He was catapulted him 30 feet into a railing before landing on the pavement, knocking him unconscious for 24 hours. The 32-year-old broke both his legs in the collision, suffered a smashed pelvis and shattered arm as well as broken ribs and chest bone.
Shocking pictures taken at the scene show the motorbike he was riding lying in a pool of blood. And his X-rays show the extreme extent of his injuries, with his bones smashed into many pieces.
