问题     Eleven days ago, as he felt himself being crushed from head to toe, Andrew Jepson was certain he was about to die.
    Yesterday the 26-year-old construction worker was able to stroll around his parents’ home and tell for the first time how he survived being run over by a four-ton road roller.

    The accident happened as Mr. Jepson worked at a building site at Heathrow and the roller was reversing at 4 mph.
    "I was looking away and then I just felt it go over my leg, ”he said. "I fell to the floor and felt this amazing pain in my leg as it was being crushed.
     “When I felt it running over me I thought this is it, I’m dead. Nobody can survive this. "
    "There was absolutely nothing I could do. This pain was horrendous and all the air was being crushed out of my lungs.
     “I couldn’t breathe. I thought every breath would be my last.
    The machine took more than a second to roll over Mr. Jepson’s body.
    "It came over my head but I had my hard hat on which must have blocked most of the pressure, ”he said.
    Workmates believed he would be dead but the uneven surface, foundation for a road, cushioned much of the weight of the roller and saved him.
     “Afterwards I tried to get straight up, ”he said. “I was fully conscious. I was in shock but for some reason I thought, ’ If I stay down, I will die.
    "Luckily a labourer ran over and kept me down so that I would not do any more injury to myself. "
    "The driver rushed over. He was really upset. I said, ’ You are not to blame, it was just an accident. ’ “Mr. Jepson, a site engineer, suffered crushed fibs, bruising, cuts and a collapsed left lung but escaped permanent injury. An air ambulance arrived and doctors operated at the scene.
    He spent two days in intensive care but six days was back at his parents’ home near Spalding, Lincolnshire.
     “It is like being born again, ”said Mr. Jepson, who has amazed doctors with his recovery.
    "When I came around from the anaesthetic I just cried with joy. Being able to walk and breathe again is the most wonderful thing in the world. "
    Mr. Jepson’s 62-year-old father, John said, "When we heard he had been under a roller I feared the worst. We prayed all the way to the hospital. To see him now is just wonderful. "
    Mr. Jepson’s employer, construction firm Laing, said the accident was still being investigated. Statements:
The investigation of the accident lasted for almost two years.
