Ravaged Toyota Furtuner which claimed the lives of Harry’s parents and his brother.
Well wishes for Harry Finnemore who survived a crash that killed his parents and brother are continuing to pour in, as Springbok star Jesse Kriel wished him a speedy recovery.
Harry’s brother Garth and his parents Olivia and Gareth Finnemore died in a head-on collision on the R622 Greytown Road while travelling to Durban from a rugby sevens tournament at Michaelhouse last Saturday.
Harry was the only survivor. He was found in a critical condition and placed on a manual ventilator at the scene before being rushed to a specialist hospital for further care.
In a selfie recorded video meant for Harry, Kriel said the whole Springbok team is keeping him in prayers and vowed that they will be playing for him when they play New Zealand in Cape Town.
“Hey Harry, It’s Jesse here, I just wanted to let you know that myself and the team and everyone is thinking about you during this tough time. We just want to let you know we are always here to support you and that we’ve got you in mind when we play this weekend in Cape Town. Keep strong my friend, we will be playing for you, the family and friends this weekend, all the best and heal up quickly,” said Kriel.
On Monday it was reported that Harry was recovering well at an undisclosed hospital.
Messages shared on the DPHS parents group chat stated that a parent from the school had visited him at the undisclosed hospital.
It was said the boy managed to stand on his feet on Monday and a physiotherapist was preparing him to start walking today.
“I am with Harry now, he’s sleeping – best thing for him. Just earlier one of his DPHS masters came to see him. He called them sir (always best manners) and wanted to shake their hands. He’s aware and recognises everyone but is still very sedated and sleeping,” read one message.
