A widow has told how she survived being hit by a bus thanks to her dead husband - who appeared in a vision telling her to "keep fighting" because there was "no room upstairs". Carole Attle, 74, suffered horrific injuries after she was knocked down by a single-decker while shopping in Stockton-on-Tees.
She was put into a medically induced coma and rushed to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough after the crash on July 28 last year. Carole spent five weeks in intensive care where she says her late husband David – who died in 2019 aged 74 – urged her to “keep fighting”.
Carole, from Eaglescliffe, County Durham, said: “I’d been in Matalan and had bought a present for somebody, which my daughter found in the boot of my car. After that I know nothing until five weeks later when I woke up in a hospital bed.
