British 20-year-old in coma after quad bike crash in Zante

A 20-year-old British man is in a coma with catastrophic head injuries following a quad bike crash on the Greek island of Zante last week. Bradley Belhomme, from Salford, collided with a coach on Friday, July 3, while on a holiday with friends, his family has confirmed.

Belhomme had arrived on the island with a group of friends on Thursday, July 2. The group had rented quad bikes, and he was riding with another friend when the collision occurred. The friend was also hospitalized. Due to the severity of his head trauma, Belhomme was transferred from a hospital in Zante to a specialized facility in the Attica region of Athens on mainland Greece, where he remains in intensive care.

His mother, Leanne Rabbetts, flew to Greece on Sunday, July 5, and has been at the hospital daily. She described a harrowing medical situation, stating that doctors attempted to bring him out of a medically induced coma on Sunday and again on Monday, July 6, but he did not respond and suffered two fits during the second attempt. Medical staff have ordered an MRI scan to determine if there is a brain bleed and to assess the full extent of the damage, but he remains unresponsive.
