his life after a horrific traffic accident 17 days ago.

A spokesman for the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital said Jeordal Smith's condition had not improved.

He suffered serious head and leg injuries after he was catapulted more than 20 feet over a wall onto a rocky foreshore surrounded by water following the Hamilton Parish afternoon smash.

It is believed Smith was driving west on his cycle when he collided with an oncoming red Subaru J-10 on a sharp corner of North Shore Road near its junction with Fractious Street.
