ACCIDENT
His impairment is the result of an accident in which a car ran over his head when he was just age 15 months. At the time his family were living in Perth, WA, Australia, and doctors there did not think he would survive the incident. However, he came out of a coma after five days and then spent the next year in intensive rehabilitation, using a special helmet to prevent his head from receiving any further trauma. "It was as if life stopped. We prepared to lose him," his mother Sandra said. (nrk.no, 22 Jun 2016)
