While he recovered at a separate hospital that he was flown to, Caitlin called him to say she was alive and that she was pregnant.She learned how to walk with a prosthetic and Caitlin also found a passion for parasports, such as para-cycling, running and swimming.Explaining the accident, which happened on 12 June 2014, she said: ‘It was a nice evening and the weather was kind, so Jaylon and I decided to hop on the motorcycle to go to his parents’ house.
‘I flew off the back of the bike, Jaylon went with the bike. I remember rolling and skidding to a halt. I sat up and looked at my leg and my left ankle was turned inward.’Cailin was then airlifted to hospital where they asked her if she was pregnant. The last thing she remembers is saying that she wasn’t but they’d been trying for a baby.The mum-to-be had broken bones in her left foot and distal tibia, a severed artery and a major road rash.
