A Weston man stranded in Israel after fracturing his spine in a fall from a hotel balcony is due to fly home this Saturday.

David McLaughin's mum Liz has told Nova News she's borrowed enough money to get him out of hospital - and book a flight back to England for them both.

She says the 20 year old needs surgery but faced a bill of tens of thousands of pounds to have it there - because insurers Axa are still investigating if he was drunk before deciding whether to pay out.
