'Hardworking' trucker will never drive again after losing both legs in freak accident

A "bright-eyed, hardworking" trucker has been left without either of her legs following a tragic accident while towing an animal trailer.

Michelle Pillar, 25, was travelling along the south coast of Victoria, Australia, when the trailer rolled and became trapped between a tree and a bridge, leaving her stuck in a cabin for 11 hours until she was rescued.

When emergency services arrived, they found the only way to save her was to amputate her right leg, but sadly, her left leg was also amputated due to complications in the hospital.
