Bromley Cross Father in Induced Coma After Sainsbury's Car Park Crash as Police Probe Continues

A community fundraiser has topped £90,000 to support his wife and daughters during a long recovery.

Overview

  • Lewis Rimmer, a father of two, remains in critical care after being struck in the Sainsbury's Local car park in Bromley Cross on October 27.
  • He was airlifted to Royal Preston Hospital and has undergone more than 30 hours of surgery before being placed in an induced coma.
  • Greater Manchester Police arrested a 56-year-old man on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs, then released him on bail pending further enquiries.
  • Investigators say the Range Rover was being driven around the car park with its boot open before the collision and are appealing for witnesses and any CCTV, dashcam or mobile footage.
  • The GoFundMe for Rimmer's family has raised over £90,000 from roughly 1,600 donors as friends say both parents face time away from work.
