A FUNDRAISER has smashed its target to help a man left paralysed by an accident.

David Briffaut 23, of Benfleet, suffered two breaks to his spine when he went down a slide at Aqualandia Waterpark in Benidorm, Spain on July 8, leaving him with life-changing injuries.

The park deny all responsibility for the incident and claim David did not follow the guidelines.

A fundraiser set up by his friends has now raised £76,000, beating their target of £75,000.

In a post on the page, Amy Llambias said: "The public's generosity has been completely overwhelming. Although 75k is by no means a small feat, you cannot put a price on what will inevitably be a lifetime of care for David, so please everyone continue to fundraise and donate, spread the word that we are looking for witnesses and continue to include David in your prayers."
