A UK tourist in Vietnam broke her leg in a moped crash and was forced to spend her 25th birthday in hospital - then had to spend £8,000 to get home. Sara Khan, 25, with her best friend Nicole Reardon, 25, when they were both involved in a horror collision.
Sara suffered a broken femur and Nicole - taking the brunt of the damage - broke both her wrists, her arm, fractured her pelvis and rib and lost a tooth. Pictures show the pair when they first got on the moped having the time of their lives.
Sara had been backpacking across Australia and the Philippines for two months before making their way to Vietnam, to meet Nicole, who was only visiting for two weeks. The pair and their friends hired mopeds in Phong Nha when the accident happened.
