Brit's 'substantial' pay-out for horrific holiday coach crash where driver fell asleep at wheel

A Brit has received a "substantial" pay-out after suffering serious injuries in a horrific coach crash while on holiday in Spain after the driver fell asleep at the wheel. Sharon Knevett, 58, survived a crash after the coach flew off the road at 55 miles per hour.

It left her with a punctured lung, broken ribs, a shoulder and chest injury and daily flashbacks of the event. She spent six days in hospital in Barcelona before being taken home by land ambulance as she was unable to fly to the UK due to A punctured lung.

Due to Sharon's ongoing injuries from the crash, she lost her livelihood as a radiographer. The profession, which she trained hard to qualify for, requires operating heavy machinery, which is now too painful for her shoulder.
