DJ seriously injured in moped holiday accident in Crete
It took £8,000 worth of funds raised by his family to fly Dean Willis home last August, following a moped accident on the island of Crete which left him seriously injured. But when Dean returned home for treatment in a Nottingham hospital, his family received the devastating news that he had contracted an infection while abroad which could delay his recovery for weeks.
Victim of moped crash contracted infection
Dean, aged 23, was working as a DJ in Crete when he was seriously injured in a moped accident, leaving him badly burnt and with several broken bones. Unfortunately, Dean has since been told by doctors in Nottingham that the MRAB (Multi-Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii) infection he picked up on the island could compromise his recovery.
Without health insurance, Dean’s family had to raise funds themselves to fly Dean back to the UK. Dean is seeing a psychiatrist in hospital; as well as dealing with the pain of his injuries, Dean and his mother are sadly still reliving the trauma of the accident.
