A woman who fought for her life for eight days following a horror crash in Hexham last year has spoke of her fightback.
Heather Pringle, 32, was a passenger in a car with her mother and sister when they were involved in a road traffic collision on Allendale Road, Hexham on 27 September 2021. She would spend eight days in Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle where she underwent emergency surgery and had her lung drained.
She described the awful crash which left her with serious injuries: “We were leaving Hexham heading up the hill back towards Allendale, I was working in the back of the car on my laptop when the collision happened. Fortunately my mum and sister were alright, the airbags went off and the seatbelts kept them quite secure."
