A mum is ‘heartbroken’ after her daughter lost several fingers in a freak accident involving a fly-tip.
Kerry Ratcliffe’s daughter Bella, then aged 8, suffered the life-changing injuries in April, while playing in an alleyway behind the family home on Kestrel Avenue in Clifton, Salford. Mum Kerry, 34, says Bella was ‘making a den’ when she stepped on a garden table which she says was dumped in the ginnel.
“Bella was standing on a table, it wobbled, and her fingers came off,” Kerry told the Manchester Evening News. She added that Bella sadly lost her digits when she tried to grab onto a fence to break her fall.
