Paul Johnson, 29, was forced to crawl with his legs on fire to reach a phone after the freak accident near his home in Pollokshields.
A Glasgow man who woke up to find his legs on fire after falling onto a electrified train tracks has turned his life around thanks to an amputee charity. Paul Johnson was forced to have both limbs cut off above the knee after the freak accident near his home in Pollokshields.
“For a couple of hours I was knocked out cold. When I woke up my legs were on fire and I was in terrible pain. My bag was in the middle of the track with my phone inside, so I had to roll over to get it. I pulled myself to safety and called an ambulance. “It hit me like a truck. I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror, so I couldn’t imagine what it was like for other people to look at me.” Paul, who admits living a chaotic lifestyle before the accident, was put in touch with the Finding Your Feet charity, which was founded by fellow amputee Cor Hutton, 52.
