Description:
A young British woman given just a five per cent chance of survival after a horror skiing accident has bravely spoken about making a “miracle” recovery.<br/><br/>Olivia Corbiere, 23, suffered a brain bleed, lung damage, a broken pelvis and three fractured vertebrae when she fell 15ft (4.5m) down a ravine in Bansko, Bulgaria, in March.<br/><br/>Doctors who first tended to the stricken kitchen designer told her mum Linzi, 46, shehad a limited chance of pulling through - and might never talk again if she did.<br/><br/>But remarkably, after Olivia was flown to Britain for treatment and spent a total of six weeks in hospital, she has been allowed to come home.<br/><br/>She still has some hearing loss and nerve damage on the right side of her face - affecting her eyelid movement - along with a wound at the back of her head.<br/><br/>But Olivia has now thanked her doting sister Phoebe Corbiere, 19, and five close friends who were with her when she had the accident for saving her life.<br/><br/>Speaking from her home in Aston, near Rotherham, South Yorks, she said: “The actions of my sister and my friends that day are the reason why I’m here.<br/> <br/>“Three of them jumped into the ravine and helped get me out, and then the other ones called the emergency services. <br/><br/>“They didn’t even think for a second not to jump in, and they could have hurt themselves. They are incredible. They’re fabulous, they’re amazing.<br/><br/>“When I was in hospital I thanked them for doing what they did because they saved my life with how they reacted.\
