A 15-year-old British girl is struggling to survive after a paraglider fell on her during a family holiday. Türkiye.

Lily Nichol, DurhamHe was having lunch on the last day of his vacation when a strange accident occurred.

Eyewitnesses feared the teenager died as a result of the impact. A fundraising appeal has now been launched to support his family.

Mum Lyndsey Logan told The Sun she was on holiday with Lily and her eldest daughter Megan, 19, when the incident happened.

Ms Logan told the Sun: “We were supposed to fly home at 7.30pm so we went for our last lunch together today for some lovely British food.”

“I remember Lily was eating, biting into a slice of pizza, and this paraglider came out of nowhere and completely destroyed her off the table.

“He put his face on the table and we tried to lift him up. He was obviously unconscious and suffered a stroke while on the ground. I thought he was dead.

“So I pulled him, we tried, everyone pulled him to their side and his eye was wide open.”

The family must pay £7,000 towards hospital costs, which could escalate.

GoFundMe campaign launched this weekhas now raised more than £6,000.

Ms Logan added: “The hospital told us he had bleeding on his brain. “His jaw is broken but the bone in his jaw is also broken.

“He probably has a broken back and broken ribs. They noticed that his tongue was also split in two. He is currently in intensive care.”

She continued: “I thought you were dead, I thought you were dead, I was screaming, I was like where was the ambulance and I was like ‘Lily keep talking to us, keep talking to us’.”

A spokesman for the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: “We are providing support to a British girl and her family following an accident. Türkiye.”
