Jett Reed: Young e-scooter rider, 11, nearly lost his leg after being ‘hit and dragged' by a car in Lakelands
The family of an 11-year-old e-scooter rider who almost lost his right leg after he was hit by a car and dragged for nearly 10 metres has launched an appeal to help pay for his medical bills. Jett Reed has spent more than a week in Perth Children's Hospital and undergone nearly 20 hours of surgery following the shocking incident that took place at the intersection of Badgerup Avenue and Yindana Boulevard in Lakelands, Mandurah at about 3.10pm on May 23. The schoolboy's uncle, Brenton Reed, said the youngster was in pain daily adding it had been 'extremely stressful for his parents and our wider families' He also described his nephew as a 'sweet boy' who was 'enduring what no child should be going through'. 'My nephew Jett was on his way home from school last Friday ... when he was hit by a car and dragged underneath it for approximately 10 metres,' Mr Reed posted on GoFundMe. 'Both front and back wheels of the car went over his right leg and his calf was dragged on the bitumen and severely damaged. 'As a result Jett's leg was clean broken and he has lost most of the calf muscle. 'He has already endured 18 plus hours of surgery with many more to go before even thinking about rehabilitation. 'So far the operations have reset the broken bones, and the process to move calf muscle from the good leg to the damaged leg has commenced. After this will be massive skin grafts, all while trying to prevent any infection.' Mr Reed said he started the GoFundMe page on behalf of his brother Callan, Jett's father, who gave up work to look after his son. 'We ask for any help to assist Callan in paying for bills and travel up and down daily from Mandurah to Perth for what we think will be many months stay at the children's hospital in Perth,' he said. 'Callan works for himself so is currently without an income as he looks after his boy. 'Any donations would be greatly appreciated, 'I myself cannot even begin to imagine what they are going through and any financial assistance would be a great help to Callan during this awful time.'

Irish singer Orla Gartland 'can't believe' Ivor Novello win
Irish singer Orla Gartland has said she "can't believe" she won an Ivor Novello award following her success at the awards ceremony in London on Thursday night. The Dubliner won the Best Song Musically and Lyrically award for her track Mine, beating the likes of compatriots Fontaines DC and the British acts Raye and Lola Young. Speaking to Oliver Callan on RTÉ Radio 1 this morning after her big win, Gartland said: "I've just woken up and I still can't believe it. "My parents came over for it, I almost didn't want them to come over for it as I felt there was such little chance of winning but I was so glad they were there." When Callan said it was a "lovely thing to win", Gartland agreed wholeheartedly. "It is, it's my first time being at anything like that or having a red carpet experience, but it's a really special one," she said. "The category that I was in is decided by other songwriters, the panel are my peers or people through the generations who are making music, so there's no big corporate aspect to it, it feels like it's actually about the music. I don't know if that's the same for some of the other awards." She also joked that she asked British popstar Charli XCX, who was named Songwriter of the Year at the awards, for a photo but "got rejected". "Not by her, by handlers?", Callan asked in surprise. "She did have some people with her, it was all very chic," Gartland laughed. "I actually really respected it, it was very cool. "There was a red carpet room you got brought into after you win, I wanted to respect her space, so I asked my manager to ask who she was with. She probably would have said yes to her credit." Speaking about the progression of her career, Gartland added: "It's a marathon not a sprint. I've done this job since school and I've never had one big viral overnight rise, it's been really gradual. "I'm very content with that, I'm very grateful because it feels like it's never got bigger than where I'm at. If you do get a moment in the spotlight in this job they rarely come around a second time and I'm glad that all of this is happening at this point and not a few years ago. I feel ready for it." "Playing live shows is a skill in itself, it takes years to become good at that, it's a different set of skills to writing songs. I played The Olympia just over a month ago, which is obviously a dream venue, again I was just happy that that didn't happen sooner. "I felt like the show was at the right level for my name to be on that ticket. I'm very happy with the pace of it all."
