Pregnant mum plummets down 20ft drain after lid comes off manhole

A pregnant Kilwinning mum who fell down a 20ft drain is still fighting for action nine months on.

Andrea Harris, who was five months pregnant, was walking with her three-year-old twin girls when she kicked the lid of an unsecured manhole on Boydstone Road in Lochwinnoch and fell down the shaft last July.

The 35-year-old was rushed to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock after her partner Stuart managed to pull her out of the drain. The mum-of-five feared she would lose her unborn baby after she suffered bruised ribs and painful hematomas on her stomach.
