Boy, 9, had 'multiple operations' after freak zorb ball accident

A fundraiser has been set up after a boy was seriously injured in an inflatable zorb ball.

The nine-year-old was inside the inflatable when it was swept into the air by a gust of wind before landing on the grass at Southport Food and Drink Festival on Sunday, June 7. He was airlifted to hospital from Victoria Park with multiple serious injuries.

The boy's school Holy Family Primary in Southport has set up the page to help support his family. The school said they have been "inundated" with requests from members of the public asking how they can help.
