Warwickshire man marries a year after he was expected to die

Initially at hospital his family were advised he was unlikely to survive.

Mr Jenkins underwent surgery on his spine and jaw, had a tracheostomy to help him breathe and also developed sepsis and pneumonia during his time in hospital.

He finally went home in April 2023, and when he felt able, they visited the air ambulance crew at their base at Coventry Airport to say thank you.

The team had been “amazed” to see the extent of his recovery, said Mrs Jenkins, and that he was not an amputee after how badly his arm was broken in the crash.

The couple decided to marry in Warwick on the anniversary of the collision to turn the worst day of their lives into the best.

“It was so surreal considering a year ago to the day we thought we’d lost him,” said his wife.

“And then a year on we get to celebrate our lives together and celebrate his life – given back to him and us by the air ambulance crew.”

Although Mr Jenkins struggles with fatigue because of his brain injury, and has many hospital appointments, overall he is recovering well, she added.
