A woman who fell down a 12ft drop and fractured her neck in three places has made a miracle recovery and welcomed a baby boy. Cary Edby, 25, had gone out for a cigarette two days before Christmas when she lost her footing and somersaulted over a wall and towards the basement flat below - face first.
At first Cary couldn’t move her mouth to speak but finally mustered the energy to call for help. Luckily two strangers heard her and were able to get her mum, Diane Dee, 59, who called the ambulance and fire brigade.
It took three hours for the firefighters to get Cary out from where she was stuck and she was rushed to hospital. A CT scan revealed she had fractured her neck in three places, and she was moved to King's College Hospital, London.
