Clones amputee set for another world record 

The paralympian has successfully pulled a 20 ton truck over 25 meters in Scotland over the weekend. 

A Clones man, who is an amputee, is set to be entered once again into the Guinness Book Of Records.

Shane McLoughlin from Clones officially became "World Champion" for the first person in the world as an amputee to pull an 18 tonne truck. Now, the paralympian has successfully pulled a 20 ton truck over 25 meters in Scotland over the weekend.

The Clones native has been a paralympic athlete for six years and has competed across Ireland and the world in multiple competitions. He says taking on challenges like this one is about showing as a amputee he can do as much as any abled bodied person and more.
