DAD SAVED SON FROM BUS BLAZE

A DAD rescued his son by dropping him from a smashed window before leaping to safety after a blaze on a football supporters' bus.

Chris Mitchell broke his right heel when leaping 10ft to safety seconds after lowering son Lewis, then 12, out the flaming St Johnstone fans' bus.

Chris has been diagnosed with PTSD as a result of his "horrendous" ordeal and was awarded a £15,000 settlement earlier this month.
