Man left unable to walk or talk after buggy accident on Ayia Napa holiday

A young man has been left unable to walk or talk after falling from a buggy while on holiday in Cyrprus. Andre Franco was enjoying a break in sun-drenched Ayia Napa when he and three friends rented a buggy.

But Andre, 22, from Camden, North London, suffered life-changing injuries in the early hours of Saturday, May 21, when things went badly wrong. His mum, Isabel, 61, said the group had been drinking heavily before deciding to take the buggy out at around 6.30am that morning.

She said the driver took a bend too quickly and Andre and one of his friends were thrown off the back seat. His friend did not suffer serious injuries, but Andre cracked his head open, leaving him left bleedinh heavily and with major swelling to his brain.
