Twins break same arm on same day

Identical twins from Manchester broke their left arm in the same place on the same child’s slide on the same day.

Two-year-old Mitchell and Elliott Cocks, from Sale Moor, now have matching plaster casts to go with their matching clothes.

The Daily Express says the coincidence began when Mitchell fell off the slide in his back garden and banged his head. His mother Sarah took him to hospital where he was checked out and sent home.

The boys’ father Christopher pushed the slide over on its side to stop any more accidents, but hours later Elliott tripped over the base of the slide and was taken to hospital too. He was found to have broken his left arm, and while he was being treated, Mitchell said his left arm was hurting too. An x-ray found he’d broken it. ananova
