Wendy Jones, 67, is now in intensive care following surgery after she suffered a broken hip.

A DISABLED gran is fighting for her life after she was a struck by a collapsed ceiling at Pontins, which injured 17 others.

Wendy Jones, 67, is now in intensive care after debris rained down on families at the entertainment centre of the Brean Sands resort near Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset.


She underwent surgery in hospital after suffering a broken hip - but her condition has deteriorated.
Wendy has "not been herself" since the incident at the Brean Sands resort in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, and her family fear she may never fully recover.

Daughter Hayley, from Hereford, said: "She's not in a good way. She doesn't remember much about it, she hasn't been herself since."

Pontins has provided a room for Hayley and her family to stay in while Wendy receives treatment.
Hayley added: "We don't know how long we'll be here for.

"It's not the best but at least we're close to mum."

A Pontins spokesperson said: "Following the recent incident at Brean Sands, we take the health and safety of all our guests and staff extremely seriously.

"The company is deeply shocked that any guest has suffered an injury caused by any accident.

"We are of course fully assisting with the current enquiries and thank the local emergency services and all our amazing staff on the holiday park, for their fast response and empathy throughout this time."

"Sedgemoor District Council has begun a health and safety investigation into the incident.
