‘Little miracle’: Boy defies the odds after surviving horrific crash

Kyron Bytheway was cycling when he was hit by a van on Wharrad Close, Redditch on October 8. He spent 13 days in hospital and underwent brain and facial reconstruction surgery. His whole face is plated and he lost his front teeth. A GoFundMe page has raised nearly £2,000 for Kyron's family. Ringside Boxing in Matchborough has also raised £1,400. The club hosted a Halloween fundraising event on Saturday, October 29. Graham Mumford, head coach, said Kyroon used to come to the gym. The event included a 12-hour skip-athon, a kid’s Halloween party, lots of games and a raffle.
