Popular dad paralysed after horror accident at work

A popular dad-of-three was paralysed from the waist down after a horror accident at work.

Self-employed handyman Andrew Ellis, 30, was working at a property in July when he fell from a ladder and broke his spine. He was taken to hospital and later transferred to Salford Royal where he underwent surgery.

The 30-year-old, who has three young daughters, currently has no feeling from the waist down and has been told it is likely he will need to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Andrew is now receiving treatment at the specialist North West Regional Spinal Injuries Centre in Southport, MEN reports.
