It’s something many drivers do behind the wheel, as risky as it is, and these harrowing photos of Marlon battling for life in hospital reveal the dangers and devastating consequences. The 27-year-old suffered a traumatic brain injury in the 30mph crash and nearly died “a couple of times” as a witness and medics worked to save his life. Doctors told his mum to prepare herself to take him off life support as he lay in a coma, but he is now on a long road to recovery. Marlon, who had part of his skull removed and is relearning how to walk, has shared the photos to deliver a warning to drivers.
The young man, from Grimsby, Lincs, said: “Never take your seat belt off while driving, even if just for a split second.
“The outcome of that action can be disastrous.”
He added: “I hope that people don’t make the same mistake that I made.”
Marlon is speaking out about the crash almost a year on as he continues to recover.
