A Scottish judo star has spoken of her gratitude to people who donated towards her medical care after she almost lost her life in a motorbike crash in Vietnam.

Stephanie Inglis, from Inverness, was placed in an induced coma after she suffered severe brain injuries in the accident in May.

The 27-year-old was originally only given a 1% chance of survival, but after weeks of treatment she emerged from her coma and was flown back to Scotland.

In her first TV interview since the accident, Ms Inglis thanked the thousands of supporters who donated more than £300,000 to pay for her medical care after it emerged that her travel insurance would not cover her bills.

"It's crazy," she said.

"I can't get my head round it. It's just so nice. And all those people that donated sent well wishes.

"If it wasn't for them I might not even be here today."

Ms Inglis, who won silver at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, said the hardest part of her recovery was waking up from her coma.

She said: "It was just people telling me what happened, saying I'd been in a motorbike accident.

"I just had no memory of anything."

Ms Inglis is now undergoing a strenuous programme of therapy, and says her judo training is helping her push through her recovery.

"All my therapists are really pleased with how I'm improving," she said.

"I'm already walking. It is a fast recovery - although to me it seems slow.

"I'm getting more confidence in myself, knowing that I can do it, and pushing myself on a bit more every day.

"I'm always trying to push myself to be the best I can be in my judo career and I guess that's just carried on for other obstacles in life, like this.

"The quicker I get better, the quicker I can get home and get back to normal - and that's what I want."
