Son, 18, gave mum “hopeful” sign after days in an induced coma with brain injuries

A mum knew that her son was “still with us” after he played with her wedding ring while he was coming out of a coma. Alun and Clare Evans had been doing some last-minute Christmas shopping when they received a phone call saying their 18-year-old son Tudur had been in a bad car accident.

The crash happened near to the family’s home and the couple rushed to the scene. They briefly managed to see Tuduer before he was lifted into the air ambulance and taken to The Walton Centre in Fazakerley, Liverpool, the Liverpool Echo reports.

“When we got there, it was clear Tudur’s car had hit a tree. He was being looked after by the medics and had been sedated, and he had had a big knock to the head,” Alun said. “This happened the day before Christmas Eve, so it was quite a shock, and a very different Christmas to what we imagined.”
