A Scots judo star left in a critical condition after a motorcycle accident has been given a 50% chance of survival.

Stephanie Inglis, from Inverness, suffered serious head injuries in Vietnam when her skirt caught in a wheel of a motorcycle taxi taking her to work and pulled her off the bike on May 12.

The athlete, who won silver at Glasgow 2014, was originally only given a 1% chance of survival.

A friend and judo competitor set up a fundraising campaign for the medallist which has raised more than£200,000 to help pay for the 27-year-old's medical bills.

Ms Inglis' travel insurance has been deemed invalid and her hospital stay costs around £2000 a day.

Khalid Gehlan said people who had contributed had "potentially saved her life".

He said: "To all the people that have donated, spread the word, ran fundraisers and reached out to everyone you know crying out for support, you have given Stephanie the chance she needed, you have potentially saved her life.

"Stephanie, although still in a critical condition, has made progress over the last five days, the doctors are now saying she has a 50% chance of making it through.

"She still has a very long way to go, a recent lung infection set her back, she is now on a seven-day antibiotic course and is being kept in a sterile room to prevent further infection.

"Her parents have said they are happy with the care she is now receiving, but even with that care the end outcome is still unknown."

He added: "Words cannot and never will be able to express the gratitude myself, Stephanie's family and many others have for what you have all done."

He urged people to continue donating, saying the cost of flying Ms Inglis home would be more than £120,000.
