A DISABLED 22-year-old who suffered life-threatening injuries in a horror car crash has been recognised as an "inspiration."
Sophie Price had to learn how to speak, eat and walk again following the crash, which happened in Bewdley in 2018 when she was a student at Kidderminster College.
Her Stepfather and carer Lee Mildenhall said that through "sheer determination and willpower," Sophie has been out of a wheelchair and walking again for 16 months. Sophie has a paralysed left arm and requires the aid of a splint.
Last year she walked 27 miles over 17 days with family in aid of the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. To this date, she has raised £9,000 for the charity which helped save her life.
At a charity event last month, Sophie was presented with an Inspiration Award by air ambulance staff who supported Sophie the evening of the crash.
Mr Mildenhall said: "Sophie has many battles ahead and with the support of family and friends we shall all get her over the line".
