A woman was flung from her wheelchair when the wheel broke after getting stuck in a dropped kerb.  Abbie McMahon, 25, was enjoying a day out in Cambridge when she tried to cross the road.  As she began her descent from a dropped kerb the front wheel of her wheelchair became stuck and snapped off.    Abbie suffered pain along her spine and in her wrist as she hit the ground.

00:00You could not make this up, I swear to f***ing god, you could not make this up.

00:10This is my 13th reason, honestly.

00:11So I'm going on a nice little stroll in my wheelchair, a nice little go down the road,

00:18down the road in Cambridge, it's got nice little cafes, little whatever, I've never

00:23actually been down there, so I was like, I know, I'll use my day off as a little, um,

00:30having a little ride around.

00:32I didn't realise how inaccessible Mill Road was, um, the drop kerbs aren't very dropped.

00:39As you can see there, like, there's still quite a big, you know, way to go from, from

00:46the floor.

00:47So here I was, going over this drop kerb, this happens.

00:55My front wheel got stuck, it got stuck, and obviously my wheelchair carried on going and

01:05my wheel got stuck and it, I'm nowhere near my car, have not got my crutches on me, and

01:15I'm literally on the verge of having a breakdown in the street.

01:22Why is this happening to me?

01:23I'm literally on the verge of tears.

01:24So anyway, I'm just sitting on the floor, on the corner, waiting for my mum to come

01:39pick me up.

01:40I'm not okay right now.

01:43I'm not okay right now.
