A five-year-old boy was left fighting for his life after being involved in a horrific car crash over the holidays.
Little Dominic Boschetti from Bromsgrove, England, suffered extensive injuries while visiting his family in Italy over Christmas.
According to the local reports, the boy was in a car with his father, Giuseppe, in Montichiari when a truck crashed into them and smashed their vehicle.
Following the collision, the distressed father whose legs were shattered in the crash performed CPR on his son in an attempt to bring the 5-year-old back to consciousness.
Once the paramedics arrived at the scene, Dominic and his father were rushed to the hospital.
As of this writing, the 5-year-old remains in critical condition on life support. His mother, Jordan, has since joined Dominic in the hospital and remains by his side.
“Unfortunately there is no improvement yet. Dominic’s eyes are open, but he doesn’t seem there. It’s like a terrible nightmare,” Corin Hetherington, the boy’s uncle, revealed.
“Jordan is with Dominic and like a rock. She is being extremely strong and never cries in front of her son. She is amazing.
“He is off the ventilator but he is still in a coma and Giuseppe will be sent to a specialist hospital next week to begin rehabilitation on his shattered legs.”
The uncle also went on to praise Giuseppe for dragging himself to Dominic and giving him CPR even though his own legs were broken.
“They don’t know yet if Giuseppe can walk. I still physically can’t believe how he managed to get Dominic from the car with how his legs are,” he added.
“Maybe it was adrenaline or the love for his son to protect him, I don’t know.”
