UK -- A teenager who was knocked down by a speeding driver and spent four weeks in a coma has made a remarkable recovery... and he puts it all down to kick-boxing.
Black belt Andrew Stott's story is one of courage and determination.
The 17-year-old, from Armley, Leeds, was struck by a car on the wrong side of the road, whilst visiting his gran in Liverpool on August 6 last year.
After spending a month in a coma, during which time he had four major operations, he learned a terrible piece of news – that while he had been battling for his life, his elder brother, Philip, 24, had died.
Andrew's accident left him blind in his right eye and deaf in his left ear. In addition, the sports-mad teenager had a fractured skull, broken collar bone, jaw, eye socket, ribs, all his fingers and fractures to part of his spine.
