1 in 1,000 Burns Survivor Now Helping Save Others

A BUS crash victim beat the odds to survive 96% burns and is now a physiotherapist helping others.

Catrin Pugh, 27, was given a one in 1,000 chance of survival after only the soles of her feet and patches on her scalp were left untouched by the inferno.

She spent 90 days in a coma and is believed to be the oldest person in the world to survive being so badly burned.

Her injuries came in 2013 when she was just 19 years old after she had finished doing a ski season in the French Alps.
