20-Year-Old from Salford in Coma After Quad-Bike Crash in Zante

An MRI is pending in Athens to check for brain bleeding after seizure activity, with consular contact followed by community fundraising.

Overview

  • Bradley Belhomme, 20, was seriously injured when a rented quad bike collided with a coach during a lads' holiday on Zante on Friday, July 3.
  • He was stabilised on the island and then moved to a hospital in the Attica area of Athens, where he remains in intensive care in a coma.
  • Doctors attempted to wake him and said he had two seizures, so an MRI has been ordered to check for bleeding or other brain damage.
  • His family flew to Greece and face restricted, PPE-required half-hour visits, a language barrier in hospital and the need to confirm travel insurance.
  • Friends and the local community have launched a GoFundMe and other appeals with more than £20,800 raised toward a £26,000 target as the family seeks help and clarity on potential medical bills.
