Nine-year-old Will Tyler was also left temporarily unable to walk and in need of a skin graft after the horrific incident, Liverpool Echo reports.

Will visited the beach with his parents Toby and Claire, and his sister Lily, on June 1, 2020. The family, along with their friends the Morley family, were visiting from Stockport, and had purposely hiked right across the sand dunes to avoid crowds.

This meant Will's dad had to run across the dunes, carrying him for 20 minutes in the summer heat, back to the car so his mum could get him to hospital.
