Tracey Mitchell was riding solo when she lost control and was thrown into woodland on a remote country road
A Scots mum who was left paralysed from the waist down after crushing her spinal cord in a horror motorbike crash vowed to walk again for her five young sons.
Janet, from Tarland, said: “When I landed, I damaged my spinal cord. It contracted which stopped me from being able to feel anything from the waist down so I couldn’t move or walk. Recalling the day of the accident, the mum-of-five said: “It happened on a road I know like the back of my hand but for whatever reason, it all went a bit Pete Tong that day. I flew off the bike and landed in the trees.
“Because of the trees, no one driving past could see me. The longer it went on, I was getting a bit panicky. Your adrenaline is going but then the pain starts kicking in. After 40 minutes, I saw the chopper above me and it was just instant relief.
