'"My leg was stuck to the rail and I couldnt get off"

Sasha Twining

Available for over a year

Chris Dos Santos came close to losing his leg after falling at a level crossing while drunk and landing on an electrified line that runs along the ground. He went into cardiac arrest and spent three months in hospital being treated for severe burns. Chris, 29, from Totton, is now teaming up with Network Rail this winter to remind anyone using trains or level crossings that they’re on dangerous ground if they’ve had too much to drink.
