A father is in a critical condition after being struck by a Range Rover while on his way to buy a lottery ticket. Lewis Rimmer, 41, was about to enter a Sainsbury's store in Bolton, Greater Manchester, when the vehicle collided with him and the wall of the shop on 27 October. Mr Rimmer was rushed to hospital, where he underwent over 30 hours of surgery and was placed in an induced coma. He had taken time off work to treat his daughters, Amelia, 10, and Maddison, five, to a birthday lunch during the half-term break. The incident has been described by his family as an "unimaginable tragedy." Friends have noted that Mr Rimmer, a keen golfer and lifelong Manchester United supporter, is "loved by everyone that knows him." Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that a 56-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs. He has been released on bail pending further inquiries as the Serious Collision Unit continues its investigation. Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward. A GoFundMe page set up to support Mr Rimmer's wife, Sarah, and their daughters has raised over £92,000 from approximately 1,600 donors. Family friend Andy Tonge, 42, stated that Lewis' injuries are "severe and life-changing," but he has shown remarkable strength throughout his ordeal. Tonge remarked, "We already knew our Lewis was strong-willed, but since the incident, he has been defying medical odds. He continues to fight for his girls, Sarah, and family. Lewis is one of the most decent blokes I know: humble, honest, hardworking, and a true friend to everyone in his extended circle." He added, "This is only the start of a very long journey; we are all overwhelmed and deeply grateful for the fundraiser and for the incredible support from the community. It's been amazing to see the north-west communities pull together for one of our own." In an update on the GoFundMe page, Sarah expressed her gratitude for the support received. She said, "I just want to take a moment to say a huge thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone who's kept us in their thoughts, shared our story, or donated to the page our amazing friends have set up. "The past two weeks have been a complete blur, and we're just taking things a few hours at a time while we continue to process everything and stay strong. The love, kindness, and support we've felt has truly helped us keep going, and I know that Lewis and I will be forever grateful."
