THE victim of a mysterious accident has returned home after nearly ten weeks in hospital but still cannot remember how he received life-threatening head injuries.

Tom Williams, 33, was knocked unconscious and found by passers-by on Deverill Road in Warminster after New Year celebrations.

He was taken to Fren-chay Hospital in Bristol where surgeons carried out two operations.

Now Mr Williams is back at the family home in Bradley Road, War-minster.

But he is still suffering from short-term memory loss and has little feeling on the right side.

"I cannot remember a thing about what happened. I was leaning on the railings waiting for my wife. Although I cannot say for certain, I think I was hit by a car."

Mr Williams' skull was broken, he had a clot behind his eye, and his cheekbone was fractured.

Doctors drained fluid from the 33-year-old's brain and his wife, Michelle, was warned that he might not survive.

After a couple of weeks in intensive care he was transferred to the Royal United Hospital in Bath where he started to regain his memory.

Mr Williams said: "I can't remember anything about being in Frenchay and I didn't even recog-nise my family.

"My wife was at my bedside every day, which really helped, and she showed me photographs to help me get my mem-ory back.

"It was a scary time and I used to get emotional. For some reason I kept telling everyone my name was Tom Twenty. I couldn't even remember my house when I first came home.

"It has been a long process but I'm slowly getting back to some kind of normal life."

The father of four can only walk with a stick and uses a wheelchair when he leaves the house. He also has a scar across one side of his head.

Mr Williams used to work at Decorative Country Furniture in Warminster, but is unable to return. He is now having two sessions of physiotherapy a week.

Despite the treatment programme, Mr Williams' wife was pleased he was home to celebrate his birthday yesterday.

Police are still investigating the accident.
