Calderdale restaurant's plea to help young team member seriously hurt in Zante
A Calderdale restaurant is urging people to help one of its staff left seriously ill after an accident in Greece.
Louis Benson was away with friends on his first holiday without his parents when he was hurt in the accident in Zante.
An online fundraiser launched to help the young man, who works at Engine Social Dining in Sowerby Bridge, says he is in hospital in an induced coma with a bleed on his brain.
The restaurant is among those who have been sharing the collection to rise enough funds for medical care.
In less than 24 hours since the appeal was launched, more than 700 people have donated already, raising more than £20,000.
Engine Social Dining has shared the fundraising page with the message: “One of our team here at Engine, Louis, has suffered a terrible accident whilst on holiday. He needs our help.
"If anyone can offer any support we would be very grateful.”
