Chloe Spriggs and her hospitalised fiance, Arron Honzik, filmed a video on October 10 to announce to their friends and family that they are expecting a baby. The couple had been told several days beforehand that he may not survive the injuries sustained in a car crash on October 4. A local Middlesbrough article reports that Honzik badly damaged his spine in the car crash and came out of an induced coma on October 7.

In the video Honzik said he found out the good news that morning.

In the Facebook post accompanying the video, Spriggs said. “words couldn’t ever describe how hard and heart breaking the past week has been for me, I really don’t know where I’d be without all the support from our friends & family.” She also said her partner was getting better every day now.

The video has been viewed over 82,000 views on Facebook since it was uploaded on October 10. Credit: Facebook/ Chloe Spriggs
