BBC star Fred Collins suffers life-changing injury after trapping arm in horrific tractor accident
BBC farmer Fred Collins has suffered a life-changing arm injury in a horrific tractor accident. Having only recently appeared on the Beeb's The Farmers Country Show Down, Fred was going about his daily routine when things took a terrifying turn.
While changing a tyre on his tractor, the jack fell away leaving his arm trapped for a lengthy period of time. The damage to his limb was so severe he has been told he may only have 20 per cent use of it from now on.
