A stunned dad has told of how he tried to save a young boy when he plummeted from the sky in a freak zorb ball accident.
The child, aged nine, remains in hospital after suffering 'multiple serious injuries' at Southport Food and Drink Festival when the inflatable ball he was playing in was swept into the air by a sudden gust of wind.
Merseyside Police confirmed another child inside an inflatable ball was left unharmed in the incident on Sunday.
