Boy, aged 6, spent two years learning to walk after being hit by a car

A little boy who spent two years learning to walk after being hit by a car has 'got his life back'. Denis-Jack Ward, now aged six, was hit by a car in 2021 after running into the road ahead of his family.

The keen footballer suffered a horrific open fracture and the skin was scraped off his leg. Medics feared they may need to amputate his leg and were unsure if the four-year-old would be able to walk again.

He was only able to go to primary school part-time and using a walking frame - but now attends full time and unassisted. Now after several complex operations and gruelling physiotherapy, Denis-Jack is back on his feet and is looking forward to a holiday filled with football and biking.
