Blackpool student fractures neck in horror Thailand fall
10:10am Wednesday 20th August 2008
A sports-mad Blackpool student may never walk again after breaking his neck in a horror fall in Thailand.
Dominic Chadwick, 22, fell from a walkway leading to the Hilton Hotel, in the popular tourist destination Phuket, last Tuesday.
Medics fear that Dominic may be paralysed for the rest of his life after the accident, which happened while he was on holiday with his girlfriend Alex.
Dominic's mother Jane and two older brothers, James and Andrew, have flown out to be at his side in hospital in Bangkok.
The student planned to return to Edge Hill University, in Ormskirk, when he returned, to retake the final year of his sports science course.
