Head on collision during driving lesson in consett

[DaveH23]

Does anybody know any updates on this story? Is the instructor getting any better?

Have never seen anything over the weekend since the article was published.

If it was the same accident , I was speaking to one of his relations last night, a list of injuries including broken back , perforated bowel etc .

If it wasn't for the surgeon consultant performing an operation before he got into the helicopter he would not have made it.

Very long road in front of him.

I guess that particular student may struggle to find a driving instructor willing to teach them, too....

Bloody hell.

Hope he makes a full speedy recovery.

Funny thing that was said last night , was that it was a dual control car.

The consultant surgeon chappy was taking his turn on the helicopter response team , a lucky coincidence .

Yeah read that. I was taught and passed first time with an instructor from there and possibly around that age aswell. Just seen it was a black Fiesta aswell.
