Influencer couple left wheelchair bound as pair suffered broken back and fractured skull after plane crash
An influencer couple’s plane crashed after plunging 150ft leaving both with serious injuries.
Wealthy entrepreneur Xavi Caballol, 49, and his partner, Alba Serch suffered multiple severe bone breaks including a broken back and fractured skull in the accident. Shocking footage filmed from inside the ultralight aircraft shows Xavi attempting a manoeuvre before the engine suddenly stalls mid-air.
The camera cuts just as the aircraft plummets down to the ground. Xavi said the plane "fell like a stone".
The incident took place at the Viladamat aerodrome in Girona in October of last year. Miraculously, both Xavi and Alba survived after they were able to be rescued and rushed to hospital.
The 150ft fall left the pair fighting for their lives when doctors first saw them. Xavi is now unable to move part of his face after his skull was fractured.
The pair are also believed to have broken their vertebrae in the terrifying crash as well as shattering a number of other bones. The couple have spent the last few months undergoing gruelling rehab to help them recover from the serious accident.
They have both been forced to use a wheelchair due to their back injuries and are only just starting to learn to walk again. Xavi has vowed to never fly again.
He captioned the video to his followers: "The video of the accident that has changed our lives. They tell us that ultralight aviation is very safe and from experience I categorically affirm that it is not.
"It is a beautiful world that I would reserve for commercial and private pilots with many hours of flight and experience." The wealthy businessman is originally from Andorra but has lived in Spain in recent years as he built up a following online. Ever since the accident they pair have lived a much quieter and simple loves away from the cameras.
The Ferrariman YouTube channel has since been deleted with only Xavi's back up account - called Xavi Caballol - still up. It has almost 100,000 followers and it is where he has posted several videos talking about the accident in recent months.
