A man who was cut in half by a forklift has given us an update, alongside his wife, five years after the horrific accident.

Loren Schauers was just 18-years-old when he suffered an almost fatal injury that turned his entire life upside down.

While working as a labourer in Montana, US, on 27 September, 2019, the forklift he was operating veered off a bridge, falling 50ft into the ground.

He has previously shared how his life has changed following the accident, which saw him be caught beneath the forklift. Loren made the painful decision to give authorities permission to cut and amputate everything below his waist, as it was that or death for the then teenager.

Even more painfully so, Loren was conscious following the accident - where his right arm and pelvis were crushed - and he felt the full extent of the pain during a 10/15 minute wait for his co-workers to help him up.

As a result, three of his limbs were amputated, and his life was changed forever as he found that many of his friends weren't loyal enough to stick around.

He also realised that it would be difficult to make any new friends in the years following.

But along with his wife, he runs a YouTube channel called Sabia and Loren, as he gives their 642,000 subscribers an insight into his life and what he does on a day to day basis.

During one of their latest videos, he provided an update on his and Sabia's lives exactly five years from the incident, revealing that his pain is now more manageable, praising rehab techniques he'd learnt from doctors.

Revealing that they 'know what to expect' with things nowadays, he also said that him and Sabia were 'doing great', though the couple 'don't do much', as they read books and watch TV most of the time.

Sabia, who has been in a relationship with Loren since before his accident, was then asked: "Is your situation now anything like you expected after the accident?"

She answered: "Yes and no, I saw us still being together and settled down but I don't think I necessarily I guess had a vision for the future.

"It's just always kind of been in the now since the accident happened so like when it happened I knew I wasn't going anywhere and then we went through the processes of the hospital and rehab."

"I don't know I guess since the accident happened I haven't really really thought farther ahead than a day at a time so I hoped we'd still be together but I didn't really have any visions for the future," Sabia admitted.

Loren then followed up by agreeing with his wife completely, saying that that's 'exactly how it's been' over the past few years.
