A former sailor has been awarded over $7.5 million in damages over a car crash in California that shortened his penis by an inch and a half.
Newlywed Matthew Wall suffered crush injuries and nerve damage to his manhood after a 2007 accident in San Diego.
The 27-year-old underwent reconstructive surgery that left his penis an inch and half shorter than before the accident.

A jury in El Cajon, California, awarded him $7,553,000 in damages as compensation for pain, suffering, medical bills and loss of income.
Mr Wall was riding his motorcycle to work at the US Navy submarine base in San Diego when he was struck by a shuttle bus from a nearby car showroom.
The jury heard that the van turned left in front of Mr Wall who was unable to avoid the collision.
He was thrown off his motorcycle and suffered a fracture of his pubic ramus bone and a crushing injury to his penis and damage to the nerve and arteries of the penis.
Mr Wall's lawyer Nicholas Rowley said the van’s driver, Pedro Flores Miramontes, was a non-U.S. citizen who had an expired driver’s license and had never been trained as a shuttle driver.
Mr Wall is no longer in the Navy and lives in South Carolina, said Mr Rowley.
He had recently married at the time of the crash but the couple has since divorced.
Mr Rowley said it was uncertain if Mr Wall would be able to have children because of the injury.
'It’s going to affect his relationships and his self-esteem in the future,' Mr Rowley told the San Diego Union Tribune.
A spokesman with the defending automotive group says they plan to appeal the verdict.
