Jones was airlifted to a hospital in Crete, where he remains in a medically-induced coma in intensive care. His girlfriend, Olivia Allsopp, is trying to raise money to bring him back to the UK because he did not have travel insurance. The family have been quoted a cost of up to £40,000 for his repatriation, as he would need medical care throughout the journey, and an online appeal has so far raised more than £15,000.
Two close friends have travelled to Crete to be with the couple. Jones is a former Royal engineer and a serving member of the territorial army. The cause of the quad bike crash and the current medical prognosis for Jones remain unclear, as do any ongoing investigations by Greek authorities or details about the quad bike hire, such as the company or rental terms.
