A seven-year-old girl who lost both her parents and her brother in a car crash in Corfu has returned to Britain.

Sadie I'Anson suffered head, leg and throat injuries and was airlifted to a children's hospital in Athens after the accident on Monday night.

Her parents Neil, 34, and Dawn, 28, of Swinton near Rotherham, died along with their six-year-old son Keegan and two local adults who were travelling in the other vehicle involved.

Sadie travelled home from Athens with her grandparents, Patricia and Brian Wigley, also from Swinton.

Family statement

A South Yorkshire police spokeswoman said Sadie was in a "comfortable" condition and her injuries are not life-threatening.

At the request of the family, the hospital where Sadie is being treated is not being identified.

She is said to be extremely tired and sleeping a lot.

The family released a statement on Friday which said: "The whole family are extremely pleased to have her home.

"We are working towards Sadie being informed of the heart breaking news of the loss of her parents and brother."
