A woman who lay injured in a car crash for three days before it was reported to police will be in hospital for months, her mother said.

Lamara Bell, 25, was seriously injured and her boyfriend John Yuill, 28, died when their car went off the road on the M9 near Stirling, Scotland on Sunday.

Miss Bell, who has two young children, is currently in a medically induced coma at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Her mother Diane Bell told the Scottish Sun: "She will be in hospital for a good few months. We don't know what she is going to be like [when she comes round]."
