Severe leg injuries likely to leave Yiyi disabled

SHANGHAI The doctor treating the 2-year-old girl who was the last survivor pulled from the wreckage of last month's high-speed train crash said there is a high probability that she will be disabled.

"She has suffered irreversible injury to her nerves and muscles and fibrosis was found in part of her left leg," said Dr Zhao Li.

Xiang Weiyi, nicknamed Yiyi by Chinese netizens, was trapped for more than 21 hours following the July 23 high-speed train crash in Wenzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, which left 40 dead - including her parents - and nearly 200 injured.
