A young mother paralysed in a car crash can walk again thanks to an Iron Man-style robot-suit.

Monique Kelley, 28, was pinned to the ground by her SUV after it slid across black ice, flipped over and smashed into a tree.

The barbershop owner awoke to the sound of her six-year-old son Kamden's voice on a rural road near Klamath Falls, Oregon, USA. While Monique’s little boy - who had been asleep in the back seat - was uninjured in the crash, she had to be freed from the wreck by rescuers.

Footage captured on November 11 shows Monique taking her first unassisted steps with the help of a special suit and a walker.
