A pensioner has miraculously survived after a four tonne motorhome suddenly collapsed on his head.
Keith Tyler, 72, has told how he was fixing the wheels beneath the vehicle when all of a sudden, it fell off the jack on top of him, and crushed his skull.
His wife, Tina, watched on in horror as her husband managed to somehow pull himself out from the vehicle, before collapsing in front of his wife in a pool of blood.
The nightmare scenario resulted in Keith suffering catastrophic injuries including fractures to his skull and jaw, a blood clot, lungs filled with blood and a ripped ear.
His wounds were so serious that Tina was warned by a doctor that, "He’s not going to make it."
However, against all the odds, 'miracle man' Keith was released from hospital in February.
He is now on the road to recovery, saying: "I feel pretty good truth be told considering I had a four-tonne motorhome on my head. I know nothing more after it happened."
Tina, 70, added: "I saw it drop on him. I didn’t know what to do. I turned away and shouted for help and phoned 999. Keith was in a pool of blood.
"Somehow he got out from under the van and pushed himself out, probably with the adrenalin. His nose was bleeding and he was sort of conscious.
"He stood up and stepped forward and then collapsed by the side of the car.
There was blood everywhere. It was very traumatic."
Emergency crews arrived at the couple's home in Gosport, Hampshire, on October 30 last year when Keith was rushed to Southampton General Hospital, Hampshire.
Speaking of Keith’s incredible recovery, Tina said: "The doctors said it will be a year or two before he reaches optimal health, though he won’t be as he was before. He’s amazing, he’s a miracle man."
