AN ARMY firefighter was left seriously injured when he was involved in a horror cycling accident in Cyprus.
James Gray was involved in the horrific crash last month and had to be brought back to the UK on a military flight before taken to hospital.
He remains there where he may have to undergo spinal surgery.
Mr Gray wrote on Twitter: “It’s the five week anniversary of my cycling accident in Cyprus.
“All the specialist advice is positive although spinal surgery is still a consideration.
“The support and affection I’ve received from family, friends and colleagues has been phenomenal.

“Spirits remain positive although I’m sure there will be one or two bumps in the road.”
A source added: “It was a very serious smash. He’s lucky to be alive. It was a miracle.
“He was brought back to the UK where he has been getting specialist treatment and will continue to do so.”
He previously took part in cycling events to raise money for children’s charities alongside police officers.
They raised €55,000 for the cause, and also honours six firefighters who died in an explosion ten years ago in Cyprus.
