First Words
After going through something as traumatic as a car accident, it only makes sense for someone to have something serious to say afterward. They’ve had some time to ponder and think deeply about their life. Samuel was trapped for about 30 hours in that car, so clearly, he had a lot on his mind. Samuel’s first words to his father were: “I’d love a drink”. “They were the only words he spoke,” Mr. Lethbridge said.

Good, Tough Kid
Samuel’s dad described him as a “good, tough, and very fit kid”. In fact, he plays for Belmont-Swansea Football Club at a local under-19’s soccer competition. Additionally, Sam had just started an electrical apprenticeship days earlier, but obviously, that would have to be put on hold until he recovers. “He spoke to me when I got down to the car,” Mr. Lethbridge said. “I grabbed him and I said: ‘Mate, dad’s got you’.”
