In 2019, a teenager was left with her jaw attached by just a centimetre of skin after a horror horse riding accident. Emily Eccles suffered one of the worst facial injuries her doctors had ever seen outside a war zone after an exhaust popping on a car spooked her horse. The then 15-year-old, smashed her head into a gatepost as she fell off after the horse bolted along a country path, causing her feet to slip out of her stirrups. She found herself holding what remained of the bottom of her face in her own hands. Her reconstructive surgeon Ricardo Mohammed-Ali rebuilt her face during a 6-hr operation.
