Boy makes amazing crash recovery
Chris Stewart had to have an operation to re-attach his skull
A boy whose head was effectively severed from his neck in a racing car crash "which should have killed him" has made a miraculous recovery.
Chris Stewart, 12, suffered an internal decapitation, separating his skull and neck, when he hit a barrier at a track near Alton, Hampshire on 24 September.
His father told BBC News doctors had given Chris a 10% chance of survival.
But only two months later he was moved to a rehabilitation unit and is now planning to spend Christmas at home.
The doctors had never seen this kind of injury because, they said, when it happens, people die instantly
John Stewart
John Stewart, a 42-year-old carpenter from Fareham, said both he and his wife Debbie, 40, were watching the race when the 40mph (64km/h) crash happened at Tongham Motor Club.
A team from St John Ambulance and fire crews worked for 90 minutes to free the boy, who was 11 at the time, from the wreckage of his Mini.
