A MOTHER has spoken of how she is keeping a bedside vigil for her son following an accident that also claimed the life of her brother.

Dad-of-two Dean Everson, from Southampton, died after a car crash that left his 21-year-old nephew Scott Anderson seriously injured.

Scott has had to have surgery on both his legs which were broken in the head-on crash.

While remaining at his bedside, Scott’s mum Karen led the tributes to her brother, who was well known in the city as an avid Saints fan and who was a devoted father, brother and son.

Karen said: “We are still all in complete shock about what has happened and still can’t believe it. Dean was just a fantastic person who was liked by everyone who knew him. He was my buddy and my best friend, we were so close.”
