Tara Butterfill, 32, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury which has left her permanently disabled, unable to work, and clinging to her furniture to move from room to room.

She was riding her bicycle along a road in Littlehampton when she was hit on the back of her head by a wing mirror three years ago.

Ms Butterfill was rushed to Worthing Hospital with head injuries, including a brain haemorrhage and fractured skull.
