‘I forgave the driver who cost me my leg’
A cyclist who lost a leg when she was hit by a skip lorry has explained why she hugged and forgave the driver.
Victoria Lebrec, 25, only survived the crash a year ago because of pioneering medical treatment at the roadside.
The skip driver admitted careless driving and was fined £750 and given five penalty points.
Victoria described meeting the driver for the first time.
“We ended up having a really long hug, which was really emotional but really nice”, she said.
“I don’t want this to define my life.”
