A woman has been left with nerve damage on her left leg after falling down a 6ft sewage hole while on holiday in Hawaii.

Millie Stephenson, 24, had just arrived in Hawaii to meet a group of online friends after a 46-hour journey from Cape Town, South Africa.

Her friends asked her to take some pots and pans out to the car and Millie stepped on the cover of the sewage hole.

Unbeknown to her the cover had split and Millie fell into the hole - catching her leg on a torn pipe.

After screaming for help her pals pulled her up to safety but noticed the gash on her left leg.

But after arriving at hospital, Millie discovered her medical insurance had run out the day before.

She decided to treat the wound with hydrogen peroxide and butterfly stitches herself and hobbled around for the rest of her trip.

Millie's cuts and bruises healed over without medical attention but she has been left with numb and sensitive leg and still has the scars.
