The mum of a teenager left for dead in the road after a hit-and-run has told of her anguish and thanked the heroics of paramedics for saving her son's life.
Dylan Fryers, 19, was walking to the shop near his home with his younger brother Ethan when he was hit by a speeding car that failed to stop. He suffered a serious head injury as well as a collapsed lung and multiple fractures and spent 11 days in a coma following the collision.
He was eventually brought off a ventilator and was able to leave intensive care, and is now slowly returning to normal life. Dylan's mum, Sam Durcan, has now hailed his the quick-thinking actions medics who essentially placed him on life support at the roadside and saved his life.
