Holly Thomas has been told by doctors that some of her injuries will take months to heal

A Brit tourist's holiday to a Greek island paradise turned into a nightmare when she was knocked off a quad bike by a 'speeding' car - landing on her face. Holly Thomas had jetted off from Bristol Airport to the Greek island of Zakynthos with her family on June 5 for a week in the sun but has been left 'traumatised' by the trip.

Unfortunately, her trip was completely ruined by the incident as she was forced to spend the remainder recovering in her hotel room before flying back to the UK on June 12. Holly is now recovering at home but has been told by doctors some of her injuries could take months to heal. "I know it seems morbid but when I was on the floor after scraping my face, I was waiting for a car to run me over. I thought it was the end of my life. When I opened my eyes I then got straight up on my feet as I wanted my mum and dad to know that I was alright. At this point, I didn't know it was that serious.

The 52-year-old claims Holly will be left permanently scarred from the incident and has issued a warning to other travellers about the danger of quad bikes on holiday. Alison said: "A car overtook us and they were going really fast so it made me quite nervous anyway.
