How did Heather Mills loose her leg?
In August 1993, she was hit by a police motorcycle while crossing the road near London’s Kensington Palace; her injuries included crushed ribs, a punctured lung, a metal plate needing to be put in her pelvis and the amputation of her left leg below the knee. Mills has a prosthetic leg, notably taking it off and showing it to U.S. talk show host Larry King during his interview with her in October, 2002. She later sold her story of recovery following the accident to a British tabloid, with details of how she and her boyfriend made love in her hospital bed.
