A dad-of-two has suffered a series of devastating injuries following a car crash on one of Cardiff's busiest streets. Will Gannon was driving to work on Wednesday, June 15 when he was involved in a serious accident on Newport Road.
The 36-year-old, from Penarth, needed to be cut out of his Mercedes and taken by ambulance to the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) where he was found to have broken his spine, chest bone, jaw, both cheek bones and eyes sockets, and cracked his skull. He also had a bleed on the brain and liver.
One of his closest friends, Kevin Brown, said Will underwent an eight-hour operation where a metal rod was inserted through his spine. It remains unclear how Will's mobility might be affected in the long-term. "Thankfully he's alive and able to speak about this awful experience, but he must now go through a lot of mental and physical rehabilitation," said Kevin.
