Heartbreak as Gateshead lad has part of skull removed after horrific motorcycle crash

A Wrekenton man is currently in hospital recovering from a operation to remove part of his skull after he suffered brain trauma in a horrifying motorcycle crash.

Cameron Turnbull, 21, came off his motorcycle on Bensham Bank, Gateshead, on April 15 - and was rushed to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary via an air ambulance service for urgent treatment, after sustaining head injuries.

The crash changed Cameron's life permanently and he was subsequently put into a medically induced coma before surgeons removed a portion of his skull to relieve swelling on his brain.
