In a Facebook post, Karen, 45, said she wanted to thank the nurse who stayed with her son after the crash. 

Speaking to the Glasgow Times, the Blackhill mum said: "When I was in the moment I was really only thinking about my son so I never got a chance to thank her. 

"She saw what had happened and stayed with Ryan and sang him Disney songs until I came.

"We really just want to send her some flowers and a wee card to say thank you."Glasgow Times:
