WATCH: Shropshire bike accident girl's video is an internet hit
An 11-year-old Shropshire girl who was seriously injured in a road accident has made a video from her hospital bed, urging cyclists to always wear helmets.
Amey Hogan says her helmet saved her life.
She suffered serious head and face injuries, including two skull fractures, one of which damaged the optic nerve which means Amey has permanently lost the sight in her right eye.
Watch the video:
The accident happened three weeks ago as Amey was cycling to school in her home village, Ruyton-XI-Towns, near Oswestry.
She was taken to Birmingham Children’s Hospital where she underwent surgery to fix her jaw which was broken in two places and to mend her smashed cheekbones.
Now recovering she surprised her family with the video, made on her mobile phone.
In it Amey has posted a series of pictures taken over the last three weeks along with powerful statements.
She wrote that she had suffered serious injuries but was slowly getting better, day by day.
