- The incident occurred shortly after he purchased a lottery ticket and saw his family.
A husband's life was irrevocably changed after a severe accident on October 27, 2025. While walking in a Sainsbury's car park in Bolton, Greater Manchester, he was struck by a Range Rover moments after buying a lottery ticket and seeing his family. He was airlifted to Royal Preston Hospital, where he remained in an induced coma and on life support.
His family was informed he had only a 30% chance of survival. He endured over 40 hours of surgery, including the amputation of his left foot, due to extensive injuries such as a broken pelvis and fractured femurs. Six months after the incident, he was finally able to return home to his wife and two daughters.
The driver involved, a 57-year-old man, is scheduled to stand trial in November for causing serious injury by dangerous driving. Although facing a long road to recovery and a new way of life, the family remains determined and positive, navigating their new journey together.
