A woman crushed against against a concrete bollard by a horse and left her unable to walk at the Grand National on Saturday has spoken of her "terrifying" ordeal.

Footage shows Recite A Prayer and Galvin veering off course after unseating their jockies at the first fence. The horses fell onto their sides at the edge of the grass surface and briefly pinned Jo Nagra, 44, against the barrier, reports the Mirror.

A police officer administered first aid before an ambulance was called and Jo was taken to Aintree Hospital with leg injuries. Jo says it was because of protesters at the race that she was left standing in area next to the bollard.
