A BRIT has been left unable to walk or talk after being thrown from a buggy as it sped around a bend during a lads’ holiday in Cyprus. Andre Franco, 22, has been in hospital for five weeks following the horror accident in Ayia Napa after suffering a severe head injury, which has caused major swelling on his brain.

But what started off as a laugh ended in disaster as Andre was thrown off the backseat with a friend after the driver went around a corner too fast. His pal came away with just a few scratches – but Andre, from Camden, cracked his head open and has been left hospitalised with major injuries. Andre’s devastated family are now desperately trying to get him back to London – but are faced with a possible £32,000 bill for specialist medical aviation, reports MyLondon.
