A man has miraculously cheated death after being hit by a 15 tonne lorry - leaving him so badly injured his insides were left strewn across the road. :|

Lewis Godfrey, 23, suffered such horrendous injuries that doctors on the scene pronounced him dead twice.

A team of 34 doctors and nurses were called in to save his life after he was rushed to hospital with his body parts held together in a blanket.

He had a substantial head injury and his skin had been ripped off his body in a band about a foot wide. His bowel had been damaged and his bladder ripped off.

Mr Godfrey, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, went on to spend 16 days in a coma. He was expected never to walk again and to have brain damage.

But five months after the horror smash, he has made a full recovery.

He said: 'It has taken a while for everything to sink in. Sometimes I can?t believe I?m here. I can?t remember anything from the fight or the accident, but I am really shocked when my dad tells me bits about what happened.

'I think it?s probably just as well I can?t remember anything. I was gutted when the doctors told me I would never walk again, but I was just glad to be here.

'I was determined to get my life back on track now, and with the help of a lot of people, I?m now able to walk around again.'

Wow... That is amazing. Glad to hear he survived, and can walk again. Should be fortunate that we have doctors and science to thank for his second chance at life. Hope he lives it well.

(Also, had to google a "lorry." We just call that a truck, or semi, or semi-truck. Never heard lorry before.)

What does that even mean?

It means...

When it is your time to die, there is no escaping it. In this case, it was NOT this individuals time to die, therefore he somehow survived what most people would not. Have you never heard the saying before?

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
