Mum somersaulted down 12ft drop after going outside for cigarette

A mum who somersaulted over her flat wall while out for a cigarette fell down a 12ft drop and fractured her neck in three places.

Cary Edby, 25, had gone out for a cigarette two days before Christmas when she lost her footing and fell over a wall and towards the basement flat below - face first. At first, she was unable to move her mouth to speak but finally mustered the energy to call for help.

Thankfully, two strangers heard her and were able to get her mum, Diane Dee, 59, who called the ambulance and fire brigade. Firefighters spent three hours trying to get Cary out from where she was stuck before she was rushed to William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, Kent.
