STUDIO - Billy Monger
Motor racing driver Billy Monger (wizz) Who lost both legs racing at Donington park last year, at his home near Gatwick.
Billy Monger had both legs amputated after a racing crash last year. But the teenager is walking, swimming and driving again. Like many teenagers, the racing driver Billy Monger spent his 18th birthday in the pub with friends. But getting there was slightly complicated: he had to sneak out of hospital in a wheelchair he had only just become accustomed to.
A fortnight earlier, Monger had nearly been killed in a crash at Donington Park while driving in a Formula 4 race. He had both legs amputated in hospital Ñ one below the knee, the other just above.
The accident in April last year triggered one of the fastest just giving campaigns in history with 20,000 people including Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button donating more than £800,000 to help with his rehabilitation.
