A mum has spoken of her anguish as her son fights for his life more than 5,000 miles from home following a horrific motorbike crash in Thailand. Dad-of-five Jay Bridgehouse, 32, from Stockport visited the south Asian country for the once in a lifetime trip to 'chase his dreams' and look for work before he was ploughed into by a pick up truck in the early hours of February 26.
His heartbroken family claims he was hit by a driver travelling at high speed while he was riding his motorbike with no helmet. Jay had forgotten to put the phone down to his girlfriend Naomi moments before, meaning she had to endure hearing the collision happen in real time.
Following the crash, Jay was immediately rushed to the Koh Samui International hospital in Thailand, where he remains in a critical condition.
