THE family of RAF serviceman Greg Vickers have made an emotional plea as he fights for life in Walton Hospital.
Mr Vickers, 23, was found lying in the roadside with serious head injuries in Huntsman's Corner, Borras, at 3.30am, on Friday, September 16, following a night out with friends.
He was initially taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital, but was transferred to Walton Hospital, Liverpool, where he remains in a critical condition.
Police are again appealing to the public to come forward to help establish what happened to him.
His parents Ron and Eileen Vickers, of Bradley Road, Wrexham, have issued their own message: 'Imagine a son so keen to be fulfilling that he joins the armed forces.
'Whilst undergoing rigid and demanding training, his home life, beloved sporting activity and his social life are all sacrificed.
'Our worst fears were that he would be posted to a country of conflict where the potential of a near-death situation would be increased.
'This same young man is condemned overnight, his life on a thread and supported by a machine. Our world has been hijacked. This should not happen here amongst people he represents and protects.
'His dignity requires rewards yet nobody so far has come forward with solid information in a small town which he called his own. Someone knows what happened.'
His brother Lee said: 'My family has been thrown into a situation that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Coming to terms with Greg's injuries is bad enough but not knowing how this came about is torture.
'Greg may never be able to tell us what happened so we therefore rely on you, the public, to come forward with anything you may know, however small and insignificant you may think it is
.'
Police are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry.
Detective Inspector Neill Anderson of Wrexham CID said: 'We would like to appeal to anyone who was in the area of Huntsman's Corner, Borras Park Road, Cherryhill Drive, Townsend Avenue and Firgrove between the hours of 2am and 3.30am on Friday, September 16.
'They may not think they have seen anything in relation to this incident but they could hold vital information.'
Anyone in the areas at the relevant times should call Wrexham CID on 0845 607 1002 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
