A young mum who was critically injured in a horror crash which claimed two lives in Bundoran last weekend has opened her eyes.
The relieved family of Rachel Elliott confirmed the news on Saturday as they asked for more prayers.
Her sister Donna posted on Facebook “We want to thank everyone for your continuous support.. Rachel has finally opened her eyes and there is an improvement. Please keep praying.”
Rachel, 25, has been in an induced coma in Beaumont Hospital in Dublin for several days as doctors fight to save her life.
The mum-of-one from Irvinestown, Co Fermanagh suffered life-changing injuries to her brain, back and pelvis when she was thrown from a Peugeot 306 car which struck a wall and then a lamp post last Sunday.
The horrific crash, which happened at Eastend at 3.25am, claimed the lives of two people and left three others injured. Six adults were in the vehicle.
Young mum Shiva Blue Devine, aged 20, who was from Ballintra but lived in Belleek, Co Fermanagh, died alongside Conall McAleer, also aged 20 and from Fermanagh.
