Hide AdWill was among five of the passengers not wearing a seatbelt – something which is not required by law in the rear seats of vehicles in many US states, including Georgia.
He was the most severely injured of the group, suffering a serious brain trauma, a punctured lung, broken ribs and liver and spleen damage.
The accident left Will in hospital for three months, undergoing five separate operations and learning to walk again before he was allowed home to Galgate on June 25.
“It’s a miracle really,” he said.
In our video, Will says a big thank you to everyone who has supported him during his recovery.
