In a story that defies the odds, a missing skateboarder has awoken from a coma after being discovered at the bottom of a deep ravine. The young man, whose identity has not been disclosed, had been missing for several days before a dramatic rescue operation located him.
Authorities had launched a desperate search after friends and family reported his disappearance. The breakthrough came when a passerby heard faint cries for help from the dense undergrowth of a ravine in a remote area.
The rescue operation was described as 'extremely challenging' by emergency services, with steep terrain and poor visibility hampering efforts. Once located, the victim was airlifted to hospital where he remained in a critical condition.
'It's nothing short of a miracle,' said one of the medical team treating him. 'Given the severity of his injuries and the time he spent exposed to the elements, his recovery is astonishing.'
Doctors reported that the skateboarder regained consciousness unexpectedly and is now responding well to treatment. While he faces a long rehabilitation, his survival has been hailed as extraordinary by trauma specialists.
Local residents have described their relief at the positive outcome, with many calling it 'the best possible news' after days of community-led searches.
