A dad-of-two is fighting for his life in hospital after being thrown from a quad bike in the Scottish Borders while on holiday with pals. Phil Brown suffered serious head injuries following the crash near Abbey St Bathans on Wednesday, March 1, and was airlifted to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The 34-year-old’s wife Kate and two children, Betsy and Ted, are holding a bedside vigil for the dad, who remains in a critical condition. More than £31,000 has been raised to support the family, who are from Kent, while police continue to investigate the circumstances of the horror crash.
Family friend Adam Bond told the Daily Record that self-employed Phil had travelled to Scotland with friends just days after a family trip to Ireland. He said: “We don’t have all the details of the accident, however we understand that Phil was a passenger on a quad bike, and that tragically, having tried to correct a wrong turn, Phil was flung from the bike and hit a tree.
