A teenage girl who battled to walk again after a rare brain disorder has been paralysed again — after she was involved in a car crash on the way home from her final physio session.
Soccer-playing Jade Almond, 16, was left with the strength of “a newborn baby” after a horror crash on a Manchester highway,
“I was pretty much back to normal — able to run, dance and play football again — I was 80 per cent there and only had a bit of a tremor in my leg.“My sitting balance has completely gone — my core and my neck are really weak — and I can’t sit straight. Mum Michelle, 41, added: “The woman behind me was apparently picking up popcorn off the floor and careered into the back of us at what felt like 60km.“Jade was in the back and had direct impact, it was awful.“It was devastating seeing her go from a perfectly healthy girl and then go through what she did.
