A 16-year-old boy has been left in intensive care after hitting his head at a Bury St Edmunds Skatepark.
Sidney Hudson, was at the skatepark on Olding Road, just off Western Way, Bury St Edmunds on Saturday, July 11th, when he fell and hit his head. He suffered a seizure before being taken to West Suffolk Hospital where it was found that he had bleeding and swelling on his brain.
Sidney has since been transported to Addenbrookes Hospital for treatment where he remains in a medically induced coma after surgery in a serious but stable condition.
A GoFundMe page has now been set up to help support Sidney and his family.
Tara Hudson, Sidney Aunt said âAnyone who knows Darrin (Dad), Kirsty (Mum), Sidney, and Leni (Sister) know what an incredibly special family they are.
Sid is such a beautiful, respectful, and kind young man and the greatest big brother to Leni.
We are trying to raise money to offset loss of wages for Darrin and Kirsty, as well as living expenses while they are away from home staying near the hospitalâ.
Sidney’s family would also like to contact anyone who helped care for him after the accident. In a post on social media Bury St Edmunds Skate Park Experience said “We have been asked by Sidâs family to try and make contact with any of the people directly involved with his immediate care after his slam as they would like to reach our to you. If you helped to care for Sid, or can help us find them, please please DM us.”
