A SERIOUSLY ill British grandad stranded in Spain could face a gruelling 24-hour drive, as his family fight to bring him home.
Keith Arrowsmith, 58 from Wrexham, has been stuck in Benidorm for nearly two months after a lung infection put him into an induced coma.
Mr Arrowsmith, who has six grandchildren, may need a road ambulance to bring him back to the UK, his daughter Donna told NorthWalesLive.
A “slight mistake” on the family’s insurance policy has meant insurers won’t pay out for the trip, which can cost around €12,800.
Donna said her father was “very depressed”, although the Spanish authorities were still paying for his treatment.
She said: “He took a turn for the worse this week and was struggling to breathe.”
The family has set up a fundraising page to try and raise the cash to bring Mr Arrowsmith home, so far £1,135 has been raised.
