Last month, Patricia Bates and Joseph Guthro took a bus tour from New Brunswick to Florida, which was supposed to be a dream vacation for them. The 82- and 84-year-olds were hoping to use the time to travel around the Southern U.S. as a late winter getaway.

On March 28, Guthro got up to use the washroom on board the bus. It was then a car pulled out in front of the tour bus, forcing the driver to slam on the brakes.

Guthro fell, compressing a disc in his body. After tests at the hospital, the Orlando care centre admitted him, where he’s been for almost two weeks. Guthro’s wife Patricia has been told that there are no beds back home in New Brunswick for her husband.

“It’s a desperate situation. My husband is bed-ridden enough that he hasn’t been able to have a shave or anything,” Patricia said.

Global’s Zack Power has more.
