Seven-year-old Arran Martin, who miraculously survived a fatal car crash that killed his mother and three other family members, spent Christmas at home after months of recovery.
A seven-year-old boy, Arran Martin, who was left fighting for life after a devastating crash that killed his mother and three others, enjoyed Christmas at home. Brave Arran, from Glasgow, was discharged from the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle on December 10. He had been airlifted to the facility in England after the fatal collision on the M6 in Cumbria on October 15. Arran was placed in an induced coma and only recently regained consciousness after weeks in hospital.
His mother Jade McEnroe, 33, her partner Jaroslaw Rossa, 42, and his two children Filip, 15, and Dominic, seven, were sadly pronounced dead at the scene near Tebay services. The driver of the other car, Richard Woods, 40, from Cambridgeshire, also died. Arran and his family had been driving home to Glasgow from Legoland in their Toyota when the tragedy took place. Arran was the sole survivor of the crash and spent nearly two months recovering in hospital with his dad, Andy, by his bedside 'day and night'. After making an 'amazing recovery', heartwarming images shared show Arran unwrapping his presents from Santa at home on Christmas Day. A family friend told the Record: 'Arran is home now and has enjoyed Christmas with his loved ones after making an amazing recovery. The emergency service workers are heroes for saving his life. 'He would never have recovered if they didn't act so quickly and bravely. We are all so thankful to them.' Another tear-jerking picture shows Arran standing by a Christmas tree with a beaming smile on his face on his last day in hospital earlier this month. The family friend added: 'We're all blown away by his recovery and we're delighted he has got back home after all of this.' An online fundraiser set up to support dad Andy and family has since surpassed over £11,000. A message from the family read: 'This fund is specifically for Arran, who by miracle, is the only survivor of this crash and to help his dad out during this time'
