Man Swallowed Alive By Melting Road
IT’S road-meltingly hot in Angleside Avenue, Burnage. And 19-year-old Graham Merrington has stepped into the molten mess.
His shin, ankle and foot are eaten.
Firefighters arrive. They cut away the road surface.
Says Merrington:
“I was in a bit of shock. You don’t expect to be walking down a road and disappear down a hole.”
Unless you’re an elephant, in which case it’s the No.1 concern.
“I was taken to hospital for checks after they managed to free me. I have badly injured my ankle, torn my ligaments. I’m really upset about it. I’m a keen footballer and now I won’t be able to run for the next six weeks.”
June and July are in the close season. Merrington may come to consider himself fortunate.

Oh my god! It sounds as though compensation has set in early.
