Postal worker wins £550k in injury claim

A postal worker who suffered crippling leg injuries when his stationary van was hit by another vehicle has received £550,000 compensation.

Andrew Hutcheson, from Eynesbury, St Neots, spent three months in hospital after breaking both legs in multiple places in the accident last November.

The 59-year-old was sorting out parcels at the back of his Parcel Force van when it was hit by another vehicle, which crushed his legs.

After receiving £550,000 from a personal injury claim, Andrew and disabled wife Rose, 67, will now use the award to pay for their move from a second floor flat with no lift, to a nearby specially adapted home.
