Alton Towers crash couple share date photo

A couple who were seriously injured in the Alton Towers crash have shared a photo of them on an evening out together.

Eighteen-year-old Joe Pugh posted a picture of him and his girlfriend Leah Washington, 17, on his Facebook page.

The pair were on the front row of the Smiler rollercoaster when it hit an empty carriage last month.

Leah has posted a photo of her with family and friends since having her left leg amputated above the knee.

The teenager from South Yorkshire also fractured her hand in the crash, while her boyfriend Joe suffered shattered knees and hand injuries.

The new photo of Joe and Leah has been liked more than 400 times.

Joe has also tweeted another picture from their night out.

Joe tweeted this photo of him and Leah with two friends.

A total of 16 people were hurt in the collision on The Smiler.

Five were seriously injured, including Vicky Balch, who also had her leg amputated.

Vicky Balch posted a photo of her meeting Major Kate Philp.

Last week, Vicky said she was "inspired" after meeting Major Philp, who had her leg amputated after getting injured in Afghanistan.

Merlin Entertainment, which owns Alton Towers, has said it contacted those injured and all 16 on board at the time of the crash will receive compensation.

It said the crash was the first accident in the company's history.

People were evacuated from the Th13teen rollercoaster on Friday after a power cut caused it to stop midway.

There were no injuries reported.
