The family of an 18-year-old from Thornbury, near Bristol, is urgently trying to raise £30,000 to bring him home after a quad bike accident on the Greek island of Zante. Lewis Evans suffered severe injuries when he fell off the quad bike on Monday, and his holiday insurance does not cover quad biking.
Mr Evans sustained a ruptured spleen, holes in both lungs, several broken ribs, and two fractures to his shoulder. His parents were initially told to 'expect the worst' but he has since stabilised.
The family has launched an appeal to fund an air ambulance, as the insurance company refused to pay, citing quad biking as a dangerous sport excluded in the policy's small print. His great-aunt, Sue Turl, expressed the family's devastation at the situation.
