Ryan PhillipsThe father of the victim of a hit-and-run in Invercargill hopes the identification of a vehicle will help them understand what has happened with his son. While Mr Phillips awaits for an update from the police, he is also anxious to hear news his son is recovering. Yesterday he was slowly brought out of his induced coma for about half an hour, Mr Phillips said. Mr Phillips was hopeful medical staff would be able to try again today and on subsequent days, building up the strength in his son’s lungs. He had squeezed hands and given a thumbs up from his hospital bed which Mr Phillips described as the highlight of the day.
