A Scottish Commonwealth Games judo star is in a coma and fighting for her life after a motorbike accident in Vietnam.
Stephanie Inglis, 27, who won silver at the 2014 Glasgow games, suffered severe head injuries when her skirt caught in a wheel, and pulled her off the bike.
The incident happened on Tuesday in Ha Long, north east Vietnam, where she had gone to teach English for six months.
A campaign has been launched to help pay for medical costs, after her travel insurer said she was not covered.
She has been transferred to hospital in Hanoi, but doctors have warned that she has sustained severe brain injuries, her sister Stacey said.
‘My big sister’
Stacey told the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme: “She is in a very critical state.
“She is in a coma. I don’t really know what is going to happen. There has been a lot of bleeding to the brain and swelling.
“She is my big sister. I look up to her so much. I just want her home.”
Her parents, who live in Inverness, have flown to Vietnam, and have been with her at the hospital, Stacey said.
