It's been a busy three months for Shaun Whiter, much of it taken up with return visits to Addenbrooke's Hospital and physiotherapy and pilates sessions.

But there's one goal uppermost in his mind.

"I want to get upright. The main thing obviously is walking down the aisle," he said.

He's due to marry fiancee Charlotte Way next July and in order to walk down that aisle he tells me he'll do "anything I can to get upright, really."

An application has been submitted to the Department for Education for a new special school in Cambridgeshire to cater for children with autism. 

The Cavendish School would have pupils ranging from Year Five to Year 13, and be situated on the grounds of Impington Village College, to the north of Cambridge. 

It's hoped that the school could be open in time for September 2018, but still requires government approval. 

On its website, Impington Village College says: "The school will aspire to remove limitations, celebrating neurodiversity by supporting and guiding students as individuals."

Shaun Whiter was helping his friend and fellow footballer Joey Abbs to change a tyre when the pair were hit by a car.

They were already close, but was the bond between them now unbreakable, I asked.

"Yes, he’s a great friend. I’ve asked him to be one of my ushers at my wedding," Mr Whiter said.

He couldn’t thank Joey enough, he told me.

"He made that call that night to save my life, and made the phone calls to the paramedics.

"He saved my life, and I can’t repay him other than giving him my friendship and trying to support him through this time, because he’s obviously been through it as well."

Mr Whiter lost both his legs in the hit and run and Joey Abbs sustained a serious leg injury in the accident in Newmarket on 1 July.

It's only been three months since Shaun Whiter lost his legs in a hit and run accident, but he tells me he's "doing well".

"It’s a tough thing to go through, but I’m trying," he says.

"I’m trying my best, and the support I’ve been getting from family and friends, it’s just been unreal."

It's not just about dealing with the physical changes brought about by the accident, though.

"Mentally, as well as physically... it is really a tough thing to go through," he said.

I've just been speaking to Shaun Whiter, who lost his legs in a hit and run accident in Newmarket.

He's told me he's determined to walk down the aisle when he marries his fiancee next year.

We're due to interview with Shaun Whiter, the footballer who lost his legs in a hit-and-run while helping a friend change a tyre in Newmarket.

Mr Whiter's legs were crushed by Jan Adamec's vehicle as he tried to help his friend Joey Abbs on Dullingham Road on 1 July.

Mr Abbs, who played football with Cambridgeshire team Soham Town Rangers, also sustained a serious leg injury.

Mr Whiter was treated at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and lost both his legs below the knee.

An estate agent who worked in Stansted, he had just signed a contract to begin training with Newmarket Town FC.

Despite his injuries, he told his family he was determined to walk his fiancee down the aisle when they marry next summer.

Adamec, 40, of Haverhill, admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was sentenced to three years and four months at Cambridge Crown Court.

The injured duo's story hit the headlines and so far thousands of pounds have been raised to help with their rehabilitation.

This week, Mr Whiter went visited Chelsea FC and next month there will be a Family Fun Day to raise money for both him and Mr Abbs at Cambridge United FC.

He says it was really refreshing to take part in sport, having been discouraged from doing so when he was at school. 

He said: "I was really encouraged to go and sit in the corner and not do sport... so it has been absolutely fantastic. 

"I mean I played handball without hands, and I've done sitting volleyball, which was a brilliant game." 

The inquest into the deaths of Somersham couple Roger and Maureen Freestone has been adjourned until December. 

Huntingdon Coroner's Court has delayed the inquest so that additional witnesses could be called to give evidence into the events of Easter Monday.

Mr Freestone, 67, was seen kicking a cardboard box, which had caught fire, out of the front door of the couple's "cluttered" home. 

Post-mortem examinations showed the couple died from smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning.

The hearing has been delayed until 12 December.

The use of body cameras by police officers has led to a huge drop in the complaints being made against forces in the UK. 

A year-long study of nearly 2,000 officers in the UK and America, led by Cambridge University and including Cambridgeshire Police, found that the number of complaints fell by 93%.

In the year before the study, there were more than 1,500 complaints, but this fell to just over 100.

Dr Barak Ariel, who led the research, said that the results suggested wide use of body-worn cameras could reduce violence conflicts with officers and mark a significant cultural change in policing.

His report stated: "Cooling-down potentially volatile police-public encounters to the point where official grievances against the police have virtually vanished may well lead to the conclusion that the use of BWCs indeed signals a profound sea change in modern policing."
