London based Nigerian doctor in coma after being hit by lorry in Las Vegas
Dr. Sebastian Kola-Bankole had gone to Los Angeles to attend a friend’s wedding before the unfortunate incident.
He was knocked down by a lorry as he crossed a road off the Sunset Strip on February 15 and is now fighting for life.
Kola-Bankole sustained injuries to his neck, spine, ears and arteries and remains in an induced coma in intensive care at the Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas.
The 35-year-old doctor who specialises in infectious diseases was based in the infestious diseases department at the Royal London.
His family are faced with paying for his mounting medical bills as he did not take any travel insurance, Evening Standard reports.
An estimated £250,000 is needed for his treatment and to take him back to the UK on a specialist medical flight.
The online fund for him had today reached £80,000 two days after it was launched..
