A nurse who lost her leg after it was crushed beneath a dump truck has taken up ROCK CLIMBING after her life-changing accident. Lauren Pine, 51, found herself pinned beneath the 20ft-long truck after she was struck while crossing a Manhattan street in November 2017. The nurse was dragged along the street before the truck came to a stop, but her left leg was pinned beneath the vehicle’s front wheel for several minutes. Lauren, of Manhattan, New York, was rushed to hospital where doctors had no choice but to amputate her crushed limb and hip bone during three intense surgeries. The New Yorker’s remaining leg was so damaged from being pulled along the pavement she was later admitted to the William Randolph Hearst Burn Center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital & Weill Cornell Medicine.
