A 10-year-old Australian boy who was critically injured when two helicopters collided, killing four people, had woken from a coma in hospital and held his father’s hand, a family priest said.

Nicholas Tadros remains in the Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane where medical staff described his condition as “critical but stable”.
