Cork mum praises 'miracle' son who survived hit-and-run

A mother who nearly lost her youngest son in a hit and run incident outside his home in March has said that he is a "miracle" child who reached his third birthday today having defied the odds.

Zac Higgins, from Mahon in Cork city, was diagnosed with a diffuse axonal injury (DAI) to the brain after he was hit by a car in March. However, he continues to fight back from his injuries.
