Wayne Birkett was left fighting for his life after being mowed down by the driver of a stolen van
The brother of a Leeds United fan fighting for his life after being run over during a series of devastating attacks in Nottingham has spoken about his condition for the first time.
Wayne is now awake and speaking, but struggling to remember his loved ones. His brother, Shaun Birkett, 58, told NottinghamshireLive: "Since the first night I went down, he looks 99 per cent better. But the only problem is that they're worried about his head."It broke his pelvis, his collarbone and some ribs but they can only X-ray him tomorrow [Tuesday, June 20]. He's awake and conscious but sometimes we don't know what he's talking about.
"But I'm okay, I've had my cries, from seeing him from the first time to now, I've seen the improvements so I'm feeling more positive myself. Wayne's son, Jordan, has also been at the hospital every day to look after his dad along with Shaun. Wayne's former partner Jane had sadly died last year.
