Overview
- Greater Manchester Police named Michael Corris and charged him with causing serious injury by dangerous driving and drug-driving, then bailed him to appear at Wigan Magistrates’ Court in August.
- The collision outside a Sainsbury’s in Bromley Cross involved a Range Rover that struck Lewis Rimmer and pinned him against a steel pillar.
- Rimmer was airlifted to hospital in critical condition and spent three weeks in a coma before moving to Salford Royal Hospital for rehabilitation.
- After 22 weeks in care he returned home in early April and now faces a complex pelvic and hip operation later this year.
- A community fundraiser has brought in nearly £115,000 to support his family, with friends praising NHS teams in Preston and Salford for exceptional care.
