A young man had his beloved mountain bike stolen after falling from it and breaking his back.
Jon McClen could have been left paralysed after flying off his bike at Hollywell Dene in Seaton Sluice, Northumberland, on Sunday. The 19-year-old had been performing a jump when the accident happened.
As soon as he landed on the ground, he knew his back was broken. Jon was rushed to hospital where he underwent surgery to have a metal rod and 12 screws inserted into his spine.
