THE family of a nightclub bouncer, who has been unconscious for nearly a fortnight after a car crash, is searching for answers.

Timothy Brett, 34, a doorman at Old Town nightclub Mission, seemed fine immediately after crashing his Red Nissan Primera, and told police he wanted to play golf.

The accident occurred on a bend - the car ploughed through a fence and ended up in a field on Wharf Road in Wroughton.

Today Mr Brett remains in a stable condition at the Great Western Hospital after his accident left him with life threatening injuries.

Although he climbed out of his car immediately after the crash to summon the emergency services, Timothy was taken to GWH where his condition deteriorated so badly he was sedated, placed in intensive care and kept alive on a ventilator.

Now his family want to know what happened to him.

His sister Melissa Thompson, 26, of Robinson Close in Covingham, said: "Tim suffered internal bleeding and is having real trouble breathing because of the pain. It was obviously quite a horrendous crash because the bruising looks awful, but there are no other cuts or marks on his face that people usually suffer after a car crash - it's completely bizarre.

"I want to know what happened to him. Apparently he got out of the car and told police he was going to play golf with a friend - if he had done that, I don't think he would be alive now."

Timothy, of Thorney Park in Wroughton, was driving along the twisty road, which connects Wroughton with the turnoff for Junction 16 of the M4 motorway, on the morning of Friday, February 28.

Somehow Timothy, who has two sisters and brothers, lost control of his car and crashed into a fence before coming to rest in a field.

Timothy had battled against epilepsy, but managed to get a driving licence after two years without taking tablets or having a fit and was pleased about being able to drive a car.

Witnesses or anyone with information are urged to call police on Swindon 528111.

His father John, 58, has hardly spoken to his son since 1997 following a falling out.

John, who is retired and lives in Basildon, Essex, said: "I have been to see him, but Tim has been out of it for a while. He has started to show signs of recovering, but is still not conscious.

"I couldn't believe it when I heard the news - he is still my firstborn son and I'm hoping for a reconciliation. What happened is a complete mystery and I appeal for anyone with information to come forward."

Swindon police spokeswoman Alvina Kumar said: "The driver was attended to at the scene by paramedics and conveyed to the GWH where he was detained. It appears that his condition deteriorated and he is currently in ICU.

"Traffic officers attended the scene and were satisfied that there were no other vehicles involved and there is no further police investigation in respect of this collision."
