The family of 30-year-old Kate Clayton has confirmed she is being treated in the intensive care unit at Southampton General Hospital

The delighted family of Kate Clayton confirmed that she has been successfully flown back to the UK from the Caymen Islands, where she suffered a catalogue of horrific injuries after her car veered off the road and into a tree.

The 30-year-old, from Hedge End, is now receiving treatment at the intensive care unit at Southampton General Hospital, with loved ones by her side.

A statement from Kate’s family said: “Kate’s family are delighted to announce that Kate Clayton has arrived safely into the UK. She is now with doctors being assessed. We will announce more news as we know more.

“Thank you for your continued support everyone and places carry on sharing this fantastic news and donating to the Kate Fighting Fund to help with her rehabilitation.”

As previously reported, her family launched an appeal to raise enough money to fly Kate back home in an air ambulance and to help with the costs of her rehabilitation.

After just a few days, overwhelming support for the family’s appeal had been boosted by friends and relatives gathering an undisclosed amount towards flight costs and after doctors deemed her stable to fly, she headed home with her mum. But the family still have a £100,000 target to ensure the best rehabilitation.

Kate was left fighting for her life after the crash, which happened on January 11.

She is paralysed from the chest down and has possible spinal injuries and remains on a ventilator.

Kate moved to the island in December 2013 to follow her dream of training as a dive master and was helping people to explore the Caribbean Sea with Tortuga Divers, part of a company called Red Sail Sports.

The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service is investigating the incident.
