A biker from Newcastle was left with catastrophic injuries in a horrific crash after his motorbike landed on top of him.
David Hobkirk was on a ride out with six friends back in April 2018 when his motorbike collided with a fence and then landed on top of him. The 57-year-old sustained a number of injuries but concern rose when he started throwing up blood as they waited for the Great North Air Ambulance (GNAAS) to land.
GNAAS flew Mr Hobkirk to the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) in Newcastle where the full extent of his injuries was understood. He suffered a fractured eye socket, fractured cheekbones, a broken jaw and collarbone, three cracked vertebrae, 11 broken ribs, collapsed lungs, a smashed left leg, as well as cuts all over his body.
