Alton Towers crash victim tells of goal to walk for graduation

A woman who lost her leg in the Alton Towers rollercoaster crash has spoken of her determination to walk again before she graduates.

University student Victoria Balch, 21, had her right leg amputated above the knee after the smash on the theme park’s Smiler ride in June. She told the Victoria Derbyshire programme on BBC2 that the amputation was “a relief” after six rounds of surgery in a bid to save her leg.
