A doctor left paralysed from the waist down after the front forks of his new bike broke in half has won a £4.5m settlement.

Dr Daniel Gordon was travelling at about 15mph on a grassy slope in Inverness when the bike components failed and he crashed.

He suffered life-changing spinal cord injuries in the August 2020 incident and is now dependent on a wheelchair.

The manufacturers' insurers have settled the case ahead of the start of a five-day high court trial in England.

Dr Gordon, who was working at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, at the time of the crash, had sought £10m in damages.
