CreativityTranscript
00:00A close call. A moment of danger when life can hang in the balance.
00:05It was absolute panic and fear.
00:08A split second where the outcome could go either way.
00:11They'd have been lucky if they'd have stayed conscious.
00:13The difference between disaster and survival.
00:16It's literally, that's all it takes.
00:19Hey, what's happening?
00:20These are the people who've been there and lived to tell the tale.
00:24I was terrified. I thought I was going to die.
00:27It's a day they'll never forget.
00:29The day they had a close call.
00:47Today, on Close Calls.
00:49A mum cheers on her car-mad son in a go-kart race
00:53as he reaches speeds of up to 60 miles an hour on the track
00:56she can hardly bear to watch.
00:59I heard everybody gasp, so I opened my eyes quickly.
01:04Now, there had been an accident.
01:06Two cars have spun off the track,
01:07the second hurtling into a tyre barrier and rebounding.
01:11She doesn't immediately realise the driver is her son,
01:15but the track paramedic, a friend of the family, does.
01:18I saw Ollie crashed.
01:20He was hanging out of the car, being thrown around like a rag doll.
01:23And a father calls the Coast Guard.
01:28He's stuck fast on mudflats with his son,
01:31and the tide is rising.
01:32How deep in the mud are you?
01:34Just a low knee.
01:35If I move my hands, they're going to get stuck,
01:37and then we're in awful trouble.
01:38Riley, don't move.
01:40A specialist team is scrambled and sent to the scene.
01:43Young lad was panicking.
01:45The more he wriggled, the quicker he was going down.
01:46You are racing against the tide.
01:48Very St Edmunds, Suffolk.
02:00A 14-year-old go-kart racer crashes off the track at 60 miles an hour.
02:05The race paramedic sees it happen.
02:08It looked particularly severe, so it was a red flag straight away.
02:11He rushes to the boy's side.
02:14I thought I was going to go to a spinal injury.
02:16But when he gets there...
02:17His leg was short and fat.
02:19I've got bones grinding together.
02:21This is broken.
02:22And the young boy's leg is haemorrhaging.
02:25He needs to get to hospital fast.
02:36Jen and Neil live in Colchester,
02:38and between them have three daughters from previous marriages.
02:42Then there's their son, Ollie, the baby of the family.
02:45Neil was desperate for a little boy.
02:48Little Ollie came along, and the sisters all wanted a brother as well.
02:52When Ollie was just a toddler,
02:54his parents realised he had a passion for all things cars.
02:58He wanted to watch cars on the TV,
03:01look round cars, sit in cars, play cars.
03:05Everything was just cars.
03:07Both his granddads were motor enthusiasts,
03:10but Ollie didn't just want to drive, he wanted to race.
03:14I just wanted to do it,
03:15so mum, dad, granddad, sisters all supported me.
03:21We've just done everything we can
03:23to put him into something that he loves.
03:27It started with go-kart rides on the pier,
03:30but soon moved on to electric kart tracks.
03:32Then, when he was just four,
03:35Neil bought him an old petrol kart.
03:38And then we used to sneak into car parks
03:40in the evening and just drive round there.
03:44Then when I got a bit quick,
03:45we decided to go to a track when I was six.
03:48I've always been the one that said,
03:49oh, no, he's too young,
03:51but dad's always wanted to, you know,
03:53let him do what he loves.
03:54The result was full family support on race days.
03:58I really enjoy the weekend at the racetracks.
04:01We have friends there, family there.
04:04There's always other racing to watch.
04:07At 12, Ollie was competing in the British Championships
04:10and the Junior Super 1 Series,
04:13the highest level of karting in the UK.
04:16I'd like to think I'm quite a smooth
04:18and more careful driver.
04:20I've won races and championships.
04:22But the cost of progressing much further was prohibitive.
04:26So we had to take a little step back
04:28and realise, right, we're racing because he loves it
04:31and he's something he wants to do as a hobby.
04:34However, Ollie still hopes for a career in the industry.
04:38Probably working in motorsport in some capacity,
04:40but I'd like to race in my spare time.
04:43He's aware track racing has its dangers.
04:46I've had about four or five big crashes.
04:49It's generally more damage to the kart than anything else.
04:53But one race day, that all changes
04:56and what should be a fun day at the track
04:58becomes anything but.
05:04It's a Saturday in March.
05:07Ollie has just made the move from karting
05:09to race cars, having reached his 14th birthday.
05:12Mum and Dad have bought him a car
05:14to compete in the Junior Championships
05:16and Dad spent the winter preparing it.
05:19With the first race of the season still two weeks away,
05:21the family opt for one last fun day at a karting track.
05:26It was purely just to get us all out of the house,
05:29go and get some fresh air and have a fun day's racing.
05:32The event is being held at the Red Lodge karting track.
05:35I'd been racing there from ages seven,
05:38so I knew it like the back of my hand.
05:42Ollie's competing in his newest kart.
05:45Junior TKM go-kart will go to about 70 miles an hour.
05:49Ollie's pretty good at Red Lodge,
05:51so he would generally be in the top three in the final.
05:55Dad Neil acts as his mechanic between races.
06:00Another regular on the circuit is Steve.
06:03He's been a track paramedic at Red Lodge
06:05for more than 20 years.
06:07The professional karting side is dangerous,
06:10but these guys are trained and drive well.
06:13And these are the people of Lewis Hamilton.
06:15They've come from this type of set-up.
06:17The driver's ability is tested in three heats,
06:21which determine grid places for the final.
06:24There was about 15 to 20 drivers competing,
06:27and I think I'd been top three, top five in all the heats.
06:31These are now starting to know their position.
06:34They're kind of getting an idea
06:35where they're going to be in the final.
06:37And, of course, in the final, they want to be up the front.
06:39Jen finds it difficult to watch Ollie race,
06:42so avoids the riskier sections.
06:44Today is an exception.
06:45I had gone to the start-finish line.
06:48I'd got a couple of mums that I knew,
06:50so I'd gone to watch from there.
06:53First three laps of the race were just going
06:55the same as any other race.
06:57Everyone's just trying everything they possibly can
07:00to get the overtakes in and move
07:02as far up the order as they possibly could.
07:05Ollie, in blue kart number 66,
07:07is keeping up with the pace
07:08and has his sights on the kart in front.
07:12I was anticipating following the kart through the lap
07:16and maybe getting an overtake done within the next few laps.
07:20He was coming down the straight where I was watching
07:23into the fast first corner.
07:26When they're coming down from the top at 50 mile an hour,
07:30that's when it gets dangerous.
07:32As he's going round that corner, I generally shut my eyes.
07:36Which is why she doesn't see what happens next.
07:39But a spectator filming on their phone captures it all.
07:45A red kart hurtles off the track onto the grass.
07:48Behind it, Ollie's blue kart spins off too,
07:51smashing into the tyre wall and rebounding.
07:54I've just passed the start-finish line lot on the main straight
07:57and the kart ahead of me
07:59clips the inside of the first corner,
08:02which is flat out at about 65 miles an hour.
08:04His kart pitches into the air.
08:07Ollie swerves to avoid it,
08:09crashing out onto the grass verge
08:10where his racing tyres have no grip.
08:13My front right wheel clips the outside wall
08:16and my right foot had gone underneath the accelerator
08:18with the impact.
08:20His foot is stuck there as the kart begins to spin.
08:24Ollie's thrown forward,
08:25his head narrowly missing the barrier.
08:28His body is flung out of the kart,
08:30wrenching his right leg around the steering column.
08:35And I felt it break.
08:38I heard everybody gasp,
08:41so I opened my eyes quickly.
08:43Now, there had been an accident.
08:44Jen recognises it's Ollie.
08:46She doesn't realise he's been badly hurt,
08:49but Steve does.
08:51I saw Ollie crashed.
08:52I could see that it was hanging out of the kart,
08:55like a ragdoll.
08:56He's been thrown around like a ragdoll.
08:57It looked particularly severe,
08:59so it was a red flag straight away.
09:01It means the race is stopped,
09:03so rescuers can get onto the track.
09:05I was thinking he was going to be complaining of,
09:08spinal neck pain.
09:10But the damage is to Ollie's leg,
09:12and it's serious.
09:16Later, Ollie's parents rush to his side
09:18as Steve examines the young driver.
09:21When you break a major bone like your femur,
09:23you're going to hemorrhage from that bone.
09:25So my concern for Ollie
09:27is how much blood is he losing?
09:29And as more medics arrive,
09:31Ollie's condition is considered so grave
09:33an air ambulance is scrambled.
09:44Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset.
09:47An anxious father calls Coast Guard rescue.
09:51He's trapped alongside his ten-year-old son
09:53in the treacherous mud of an estuary.
09:56The pair are separated by a few yards
09:58and he can't reach him.
10:00The call picks up the boy's frightened screams.
10:04Riley! Don't panic, Riley!
10:06He was saying he doesn't want to die.
10:09The fast-moving tide is coming in.
10:11They could be swamped in minutes.
10:13How far is the water from you?
10:15That's the beach that's moving about.
10:17A metre of a beach is for me.
10:19Coast Guard crews racing to the beach
10:21know they don't have long
10:23if the father and son are to survive.
10:25IT project manager James and his wife Amy
10:38live in Orpington, south-east London,
10:40along with their two children, Riley and Maddie.
10:45Me and James have been together 14 years.
10:48We've been married for three years now.
10:50James is lovely.
10:52He looks after us.
10:53He's always thinking of us.
10:54Amy's certainly the rock of the family.
10:57She certainly keeps me very nicely grounded.
11:02They're a good team,
11:04but James and Amy do have
11:05slightly different attitudes to life.
11:08I'm more of a worrier, and I see the danger in things.
11:12He loves an adventure.
11:14I've always been the one that goes out on these crazy walks
11:17to places where you, you know,
11:19you don't necessarily should be going.
11:21James is always getting in trouble.
11:23He walked into a bull's field.
11:25He walked into electric fences.
11:29That sort of thing.
11:30I don't think they'd necessarily describe me as reckless,
11:32but I think they like to say I like to push my luck a little bit.
11:36Ten-year-old Riley is a chip of the old block.
11:41He's like nearly in another section of a tree.
11:44Yeah, I'm quite adventurous.
11:46I quite like climbing trees.
11:48I do fishing.
11:50I do just go out on walks.
11:52Yeah, he takes after James massively.
11:55How are you going to get down?
11:58And the pair have got into more than one scrape in the past.
12:01They are bad influences on each other.
12:04Coming back covered in mud or late occasionally
12:08or having been lost.
12:09Things happen, but nothing usually bad.
12:13But one half-term holiday, James' luck runs out
12:16and Riley is with him.
12:19It's October and the family have been taking a break
12:26in the resort of Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset.
12:30It's the last day,
12:31with the opportunity for just one more adventure.
12:35I wanted to go back to the beach
12:36because there's quite a bit more to explore.
12:39OK, well, we've got a couple of hours.
12:41Let's don the wellies and off we went.
12:45The holiday park where they're staying
12:49is right next to the beach,
12:51which is part of a river estuary.
12:53The tide was at low tide.
12:55The water was very far out.
12:58It was not busy the slightest.
13:01There's, like, one person there.
13:03They walk down towards the water,
13:05but as they get close,
13:06the ground underfoot changes from sand to thick mud.
13:11I sunk a bit, but that was fine to get out of.
13:14If the foot went down, it just went down too far.
13:17We would simply back up,
13:19retrace our steps back up to the sand
13:21and then keep walking along.
13:23Then they come across a natural channel in the mud,
13:26allowing them access to the water's edge.
13:28Now, when we got to the waterfront,
13:30we found a strip of hard clay,
13:33which we was able to walk on easily.
13:35In the distance, they spy a jetty
13:37protruding from the seafront.
13:39They decide to walk along the clay towards it,
13:41but suddenly the ground changes underfoot.
13:45The clay started to sink itself within the mud.
13:48We thought, OK, let's turn back.
13:51As they do, they discover their root vanishing before their eyes.
13:56The tide had switched
13:58and was starting to lap over the hard clay itself.
14:02It was very slippery.
14:05I got a bit more scared then.
14:08The nervous youngster spots another channel in the mud
14:11leading back up to the sand
14:13and makes a beeline for it.
14:15James has no choice but to go after him.
14:18Obviously, we hadn't tested this on the way down.
14:20Pretty much, it just started to turn into mud.
14:24The boots were going deeper and deeper in the mud.
14:27In panic and desperate for the safety of the sand,
14:31Riley climbs out of the channel onto the mudflat,
14:34which appears firmer.
14:35Just tried to leg it.
14:37I followed him.
14:38But the mudflat is much thicker and deeper.
14:42The second I got out of the ditch, it was going wrong.
14:45I couldn't hardly walk.
14:47The mud was coming right up to the edge of my boot.
14:50A few steps later, it's higher than that
14:52and James is stuck fast.
14:55So we started to separate.
14:58I bet I got stuck.
15:00James takes a snapshot of their predicament on his phone.
15:03Riley is nearly up to his thighs in the thick, cloying mud
15:08and can't free himself.
15:10It felt very scary.
15:13He was visibly panicking, saying,
15:15we need to get out now.
15:18We need to get out now.
15:19The tide's coming in.
15:20But they're stuck fast.
15:22James knows they need help.
15:23He dials 999 and asks for the Coast Guard.
15:27This is his call.
15:28Coast Guard Rescue.
15:30Hello.
15:30I'm on Burnham-on-Sea by the jetty
15:32and me and my son have got stuck in mud.
15:35How deep in the mud are you?
15:37Just below me.
15:38If I move my hands, we're going to get stuck
15:40and we're in awful trouble.
15:41Riley, don't move.
15:43Riley was still trying to free himself.
15:45Riley, going up straight.
15:47The worst case scenario would have been
15:48he would have fallen over and actually got his arms
15:50or something stuck in the mud.
15:52Up straight.
15:53Burnham's mudflats are notorious
15:55and the call hander immediately knows the danger they're in.
15:58And how far is the water from you?
16:01About 10 to 15 metres.
16:02You see the water moving,
16:04you know, the bits that we're walking are all gone.
16:07Stuart Browning is part of the volunteer Coast Guard team
16:10and breaks off from his job as a builder
16:12to answer the distress call.
16:15We've got high rising and low rising tides,
16:17second fastest in the world.
16:19When the tide's coming back in,
16:20the tide's already going underneath the sand
16:23and once you've gone down in the mud,
16:25it's very hard to get back out.
16:26As the Coast Guard team assemble,
16:28back at the beach, Riley's increasingly frightened.
16:32Riley!
16:34Don't panic, Riley!
16:36He was saying he doesn't want to die.
16:38I didn't really know if I would get out of my door.
16:43We're on to the boat, Riley.
16:45Riley, don't panic.
16:47It was very stressful.
16:49For me, that was terrible,
16:51because, A, I put him in this situation to begin with,
16:54B, I'm also a fair distance away from him.
16:56I can't just comfort him easily.
16:59I can't put my arm on him.
17:00I can't physically help.
17:02No, no, no, it's not your fault.
17:03It's not your fault.
17:05We've got someone on the way, T, so...
17:06Riley, stop!
17:08There is someone on the way.
17:09Riley, look at me.
17:10They're on the way.
17:12They've been trapped for more than ten minutes,
17:14and the fast-moving tide is getting closer and closer.
17:19How far is the water from you?
17:21The beach is moving about a metre.
17:24It's just a minute.
17:25The Coast Guard wastes no time.
17:27The first pick-up truck drove onto the beach.
17:33They're in blue overalls?
17:34Yep.
17:35Yeah, that's the Coast Guard team. Brilliant.
17:37It was a massive relief, that's for sure.
17:39It made me feel a bit sober.
17:42James does his best to reassure his son.
17:45So, no, we're here.
17:46Don't panic, all right?
17:47You just stand perfectly still.
17:49You're doing so well, OK?
17:51They're coming down with Jesse.
17:53Oh, they are brilliant.
17:54The Coast Guard's arrival attracts public attention.
17:57A bystander on the beach photographs the pair
18:00with the approaching water coming in fast behind them.
18:04Stuart and the rest of the team assess the situation and work fast.
18:08Young lad, he was frightened.
18:10He was obviously getting wet the more he wriggled,
18:11quicker he was going down.
18:13Ty's coming in, let's get him out.
18:14It's at this point that James texts his wife, Amy.
18:18Just asking her to pick me up by the promenade
18:20and left it at that.
18:22Me and Maddy jumped in the car and drove down.
18:25As I drove round the corner, I've seen emergency vehicles.
18:30I just had this feeling, knowing James,
18:32I just had the feeling it was for them.
18:36She reaches the edge of the beach and films the scene.
18:39And these are the people trying to rescue them.
18:42I was really worried.
18:45I hope nothing serious has happened to them.
18:48Wearing special boots known as mudders to spread their weight,
18:52Stuart and a colleague head for James and Riley,
18:55dragging stretchers behind them.
18:57Starting to get sloppy.
18:59Even with the mudders, we're starting to sink.
19:03And they still have to dig the pair out of the freezing mud.
19:07It don't take long to start getting cold,
19:10and obviously you worry about hypothermia then.
19:11My legs felt numb.
19:15Once I got to the boil, I calmed him down.
19:18You know, all he wanted to do was grab me or get on something safe,
19:21because he didn't want to be stuck in that mud anymore.
19:23Stuart sits Riley down on a stretcher
19:26while he works to free his feet.
19:29I managed to put my hand inside the welly
19:31and pull his foot out of his welly,
19:33because the welly was totally sucked.
19:35With the tide nearly on them, it's tough going.
19:38They, like, digged me out.
19:40Felt very good. I felt like I was free.
19:42Once he grabbed off that stretcher, he wasn't letting go.
19:45James isn't in as deep and is quicker to release.
19:49The Coast Guard team use a winch to glide the stretchers
19:52like sledges across the surface of the mud,
19:54bringing father and son to safety.
19:58When we got off the stretchers,
19:59I just kind of put my arm around him,
20:01made sure I just asked him, is he all right?
20:03Covered in mud and freezing cold,
20:05James and Riley thank their Coast Guard rescuers.
20:10It is embarrassing.
20:11I think that was the overarching feeling that we had,
20:15was embarrassment.
20:15You know, we were being winched up the beach
20:18after getting strained like a pair of pillocks in the mud.
20:21We were all so relieved.
20:22Me and Maddie just threw our arms around them both.
20:24I was happy to see why I'm with my sister.
20:27It was so good just to give Riley a cuddle
20:30and just know he was safe.
20:32I had to give James a hug as well.
20:33He had a telling off, but I was relieved to know
20:36he was all right as well.
20:44James and Riley know how lucky they were.
20:48There's still the thought in your back of your mind,
20:50the what ifs, what could have happened,
20:52this could have been so much worse.
20:53OK, all good.
20:55Ready for the summer.
20:56But I do think my attitude to risk of these things
20:59might have changed slightly.
21:01I certainly don't want to be putting us
21:02into any more predicaments like that again.
21:04I'm not sure his wife will let him either.
21:18Good job the Coast Guard team got there so quickly.
21:21Now back to another young lad in trouble
21:24and in need of help
21:25after a serious accident at a go-kart track.
21:27In Bury St Edmunds, experienced go-kart driver Oli
21:38has crashed out during a race.
21:40The 14-year-old swerved to avoid another kart,
21:43which clipped the corner at 60 miles an hour
21:45and hurtled off the track.
21:47He smashed into a tyre wall,
21:49jamming one foot under a pedal.
21:51And the rest of me flew out of the kart,
21:54apart from my foot,
21:55which was still wedged onto the accelerator,
21:58which pulled my right leg around
22:00and I felt it break.
22:02Both his parents were watching the race,
22:04his mum, Jen, with her eyes shut
22:06at the more dangerous corners.
22:09I heard everybody gasp,
22:11so I opened my eyes quickly
22:13and there had been an accident.
22:15Track paramedic Steve also saw the crash.
22:18With the red flag bringing the race to a standstill,
22:21he races to Oli's kart.
22:23He was pale,
22:25he was clearly arching his back in his seat.
22:28For me, I need to find that major injury.
22:32When Jen arrives,
22:33her husband Neil is already trackside
22:35and Oli's grandfather is alongside the fence near the crash.
22:40Oli was just sat in the kart.
22:41He looked very pale,
22:43but he wasn't panicking,
22:46he wasn't screaming.
22:48Steve cuts away Oli's suit
22:50to get a better look at his leg.
22:51His leg was short and fat,
22:54but for me, straight away,
22:55it was going to be his mid-sharp femur.
22:56This is broken.
22:58Your femurs and your pelvis contain a lot of blood.
23:00So when you break a major bone like your femur,
23:03you're going to hemorrhage from that bone.
23:05Steve is also concerned about Oli's femoral artery,
23:08the main blood vessel running down the leg supplying the lower body.
23:12His break can either nick that femoral artery,
23:16or there's the risk that when the bone gets pulled back because of the muscle,
23:19that femoral artery gets stuck between the two pieces of bone,
23:22so he can then start losing blood supply to his foot as well.
23:26Oli must get to hospital.
23:28But first, his leg needs to be put in traction,
23:31stretching it back to its correct length,
23:33pulling the muscles tight and preventing blood loss.
23:36You can't apply traction with him sat in a cart.
23:39To bring Oli out of that cart, it's going to be excruciatingly painful.
23:43They need HEMS,
23:45the helicopter medics who carry powerful drugs needed to sedate Oli.
23:49Steve contacts the Suffolk Ambulance Rescue Services charity,
23:53where he is one of the volunteers.
23:55They log him on as a paramedic on scene so he can call it in.
24:00Dad Neil begins recording the scene.
24:03Mum Jen is by Oli's side
24:05as he's given gas and air for the pain.
24:08It was just completely surreal, really.
24:10It almost felt like it wasn't really happening to us.
24:15To make Oli more comfortable,
24:16Steve administers morphine while they wait for the air ambulance.
24:20I do a handover to the HEMS, tell them what we've got,
24:23tell them what he's been given from me.
24:25I was being pumped with all sorts of painkillers.
24:29I wasn't really completely with it.
24:32Photographs of the scene show the medics treating Oli.
24:34He's given ketamine as they prepare to move him.
24:38It takes away the memory of the pain he's about to get.
24:42If we hadn't given him that sedation, that would have scarred him.
24:45He'd have been remembering that for the whole of his life.
24:47The medics get ready to put Oli's leg in traction
24:50as soon as he's out of the cart.
24:52It stops those bones grinding, it stops those blood vessels being trapped,
24:55and it brings his limb to its original length.
24:58And when he wakes up, he'll have a lot less pain.
25:03He's lifted from the wrecked cart, which is wheeled away from the scene.
25:06Then Oli comes round.
25:09I didn't actually know that was going on.
25:11I just couldn't feel it.
25:12I know he's in the best hands.
25:13So, yeah, for me, I'm happy we've done the best we can for Oli now.
25:18Ninety minutes after the crash, Oli is airlifted from the track
25:22with mum Jen as his side.
25:24He's flown to Bury St Edmunds Hospital a few minutes away
25:27and sent straight for x-rays.
25:29When the x-ray came back, they put it up on the screen for us
25:33and it was like, wow, that's definitely broken.
25:39There are three breaks in the femur,
25:41but thankfully the femoral artery is intact.
25:45Oli's leg needs to be straightened with a titanium rod.
25:49Four days later, doctors operate.
25:51The procedure takes six long hours, an agonising wait for his parents.
25:56When it's over, the surgeon comes to see them.
25:59She did say it was really difficult
26:02and she apologised for how long it took
26:05and for the length of the scar he was going to be left with.
26:11She had to cut right the way down, basically,
26:14because it was so difficult to fix.
26:18A week later, Oli is allowed home,
26:20but he won't be able to walk again for another six months.
26:24All I wanted was to get into my car and start racing again.
26:28He did everything he was told.
26:31Mum did the physiotherapy with me four times a day for over a year.
26:36Jen and Neil keep Steve up to date with Oli's progress.
26:39I got to see the x-rays afterwards
26:42and that really just brought it home how bad that fracture was.
26:46Seven months later, Oli is cleared to drive again,
26:49this time in his new racing car.
26:52So chuffed, just so happy that he was driving again.
26:55He really was.
26:57Yeah, he'd missed it so much.
26:59He really had.
27:00I still have problems getting into the car with my leg like it is.
27:05It doesn't bend as much.
27:06And he goes back to the Red Lodge racetrack.
27:11That is the best part of my job,
27:13is meeting a patient who, in front of me, is seriously injured
27:18and then later on is able to walk up to me
27:21and thank me for what we've done.
27:23I got back into a car to prove that I could still do it.
27:26He's a sensible driver,
27:27so I know I wasn't with the engine ticking over
27:30waiting to go and deal with him again.
27:32Everyone recognises he had a lucky escape.
27:36Looking back at the footage,
27:37I'm still very lucky that it wasn't worse.
27:39Had the bone gone through his femoral artery,
27:43it would have been a completely different situation.
27:46And the family are grateful to all the services who helped Oli.
27:50Everything was done amazingly
27:52and had it not have been for everybody involved,
27:57it could have been quite different.
27:58I don't think there's much that could keep Oli off the track.
28:10And good luck to him.
