French Alps coach crash survivor on mission to help others

A woman who suffered 96% burns in a coach crash has graduated with a first class honours degree in physiotherapy.

Catrin Pugh was so badly burned in the 2013 crash in the French Alps that doctors gave her a one in 1,000 chance of survival.

After enduring eight months in hospital and more than 200 operations, few people thought the then-19-year-old would ever lead an independent life.

But Catrin, 27, from Wrexham, was determined to make the most of her life and regained her independence before enrolling on a physiotherapy course at King's College London.

Since graduating, she said she was determined to help others who have suffered similar misfortunes.
