Russell Brand’s mom broke her neck and back in horror hit-and-run

Russell Brand has revealed his mom, Barbara, broke her back and neck in a horrorific car crash last month.

During his appearance on “Loose Women,” he also said she’d broken eight ribs in the smash.

She is still recovering in the hospital.

When asked how she was, Russell explained: “She’s done amazing. She had a terrible terrible car crash.

“The geezer in the other motor legged it.

“She had terrible terrible injuries, a broken back, broken neck, eight ribs … but she’s making a remarkable recovery due to her spirit and the incredible National Health Service and the people that work there do such phenomenal work. It’s unbelievable.”

Russell has previously praised the NHS for helping his mom get back to health following the incident.

Barbara was pulled bleeding from the comedian’s chauffeur-driven limo after the hit-and-run smash.

She was in the back of an Audi A8 which crashed with a Vauxhall Astra. Its driver fled after getting into another car.

A witness, who gave first aid, said: “The Astra came round the corner and lost control. It went straight into the Audi.

“The chauffeur got out and fell. Russell’s mum was trapped. She had a seatbelt across her chest. She was in pain and people got her out.

“She was in a bad way, lying on a stretcher.

“She had blood coming from her nose and on the back of her head. We were talking to her, trying to keep her with it.”
