A young graduate was paralysed from the neck down after a freak paddle boarding accident on a family holiday in Hungary. Michael Wells, from West Linton in the Borders, was enjoying a break with his parents and siblings for his cousin's wedding when tragedy struck last month.
The 28-year-old was paddle boarding with his mum in Lake Balaton, a popular watersports spot, when he dived off of the board to give his mum a turn.
The engineering graduate hit the seabed and broke his neck instantly. His twin brother David spotted him floating face down in the water and dragged him to shore on his paddle board.
