THE father of a boy who survived a horror crash that killed his mum hopes his son could be home from hospital for Christmas.

Arran Martin, seven, was left fighting for his life after the fatal collision on the M6 in Cumbria on October 15.

Arran's mum, Jade McEnroe, 33, her partner Jaroslaw Rossa, 42, and his two children Filip, 15, and Dominic, seven, were pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the other car, Richard Woods, 40, from Cambridgeshire, also died.

Arran and his family had been driving home to Glasgow from Legoland when the crash took place. He was airlifted to a hospital in Newcastle, where he continues to receive ongoing treatment.

The schoolboy was in a coma for several weeks, with his dad, Andy, staying by his bedside "day and night". Now, brave Arran has regained consciousness and is said to be making an "amazing recovery".
