Chef meets crew who saved his life after horror crash
A Taynuilt chef who was seriously injured in a crash has been reunited with three emergency responders who saved his life following the accident.
Jordan Foster, who was working as head chef at Brander Lodge at the time of his accident, was seriously injured as a result of the crash in June, breaking his neck, pelvis and vertebrae.
He was airlifted to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and spent two weeks in ICU, HDU and the rehabilitation ward as a result of the accident on a stretch of the
A85 between Taynuilt and Dalmally.
Along with wife Lesley, the 28-year-old recently met Gavin Wright and Paul Swinton of Helimed 5, and Kevin Thomson, of the SCOTSTAR EMRS Trauma Team. David Gowans and Lorne Campbell, of Inveraray Ambulance Station, and Sophie MacDougall, of the Trauma Team, also attended the incident.
Jordan’s mum Sara said: ‘I know how much this has meant to my son and his wife. It’s made a massive difference to Jordan’s recovery. His recovery has been nothing short of remarkable.
‘They are all true heroes and I will, as a mother, forever be in their debt and remember them in how they all saved Jordan’s life. They deserve to be commended for their compassion, hard work and expertise in saving lives.’
Since the accident, the family have been raising money for Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA). Although SCAA wasn’t involved in the incident, the family wanted to donate to the charity as it relies solely on public donations.
