Detective Senior Constable Steve Ingerson was awake and speaking right now, two days after slipping right into a coma.
Ingerson was significantly injured when he was pinned between a stolen truck and a police automotive north of Toowoomba.
“I wish to say a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Meringandan Produce and other members of the public who came to our aid at the scene on Wednesday afternoon,” Ingerson mentioned in a press release.
“And to the medical staff at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, who have been above amazing.
“I wish to notably thank my police mates for his or her visits and messages of help.
“I am grateful to have received so many well wishes from people across the community, it’s been quite humbling.”
LifeFlight airlifted Ingerson to Princess Alexandra Hospital after he was given a blood transfusion on the scene.
He fell right into a coma on Wednesday and awoke on Thursday. He is predicted to go away the hospital tonight.
Commissioner Katarina Carroll was one of many first to talk to Ingerson when he awoke.
“In the beginning, we definitely thought the worst, because it was pretty dire,” she mentioned.
“People who know Ingo would agree with me, he’s such a wonderful human being, he’s fun, he’s funny and has an amazing family.”
“We will never recover from Wieambilla, it will be etched in our hearts and minds forever.”
