A clubber will need pins and plates in her arm after she broke her elbow tripping over a cycle lane marker. Samantha Skene was on a night out in Middlesbrough when she tripped over the marker, which she couldn’t see in the dark.
She now faces the prospect of being in a cast for weeks and struggles to do simple tasks such as cooking and cleaning. The 27-year-old, who described herself as “the most sober of the group”, was crossing Linthorpe Road to help a friend get out some cash.
But she didn’t spot the cycle lane marker and tripped over it, falling and shattering her elbow. Samantha then had to wait around seven hours for an x-ray at James Cook University Hospital, which confirmed the break, Teesside Live reports.
