A teen who suffered catastrophic head injuries after being struck by a van was declared brain-dead four days after being admitted into the hospital. His devastated family even signed to have his organs donated. Yet, mere hours before his life support was to be turned off, the teen miraculously started breathing on his own.

Lewis Roberts, 18, was airlifted to Royal Stoke University Hospital on March 13 after being struck by a van in his hometown of Leek in Staffordshire, England. He underwent emergency surgery.
