A worker almost lost his leg after suffering a horror fall through a garage roof in County Durham.
Roofer, Dan Ranson was working in Darlington on October 19, last year, when he fell through a garage roof. The 46-year-old had taken the full force of the fall on his right leg and sustained a double compound break to his tibia, as well as suffering a collapsed lung.
Following the fall, the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) arrived on scene in five minutes after being activated, and their doctor and paramedic team administered advanced pain relief, including ketamine, and straightened out Dan's leg before airlifting him to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
