‘Bionic man’ who survived horrific minibus crash is running marathon to support lifesavers

A solicitor who was dubbed the ‘bionic man’ after nearly losing his life in a minibus crash as teenager is attempting to raise £2,500 for our local air ambulance service.

James Gorman was on his way home from a trip to the south coast when the minibus he and fellow Oakham School pupils were travelling in overturned on the Newbury Bypass in Berkshire in March 1999.

He suffered serious head, collarbone, shoulder, elbow and hand injuries and lost six pints of blood.
