A TEENAGER who suffered serious injuries in a quad bike crash in Greece remains in a medically-induced coma two weeks on.

Harri Jones, 18, of Coed y Glyn, Wrexham, was put in the coma to prevent swelling on his brain after his quad bike was involved in a collision with a lorry in Kavos on July 20.

Doctors were due to begin to wake Harri last week, but his friend Shane Tarpey, who works with Harri as a waiter and barman at Carden Park, near Chester, says there has still been no change in his condition.

Last week medics suspended the attempt to wake him because he had a high temperature and they did not want to risk anything.

Asked yesterday whether there had been any progress, Shane said: “Unfortunately not.

“He’s been the same really for the past four days.”

A former pupil of St Joseph’s Catholic High School in Wrexham, Harri is thought to have suffered a fractured skull and cheekbone and has lost the sight in one eye.

An online campaign to raise funds to cover the costs of bringing Harri home has now raised more than £17,500 of its £20,000 target.

Almost 700 people have donated to the fund in the past 12 days.

Of the public support received, Shane said: “It’s incredible. I can’t believe the number of people that have begun to help in any way they can.”

Shane thanked Home Bargains and Jami Q’s printing shop in Wrexham for their support.

He added that as well as the online campaign, a group of his friends have bought 40 fundraising tins, nearly all of which have been placed in shops and pubs around Wrexham.
