THE parents of schoolgirl Rebecca Coles, who is fighting for her life after a motorboat crash, are keeping a round-the-clock vigil in hospital.

Steve and Julie of Langdon Hills, are at the bedside of their 14-year-old daugher, who remains in critical condition in intensive care.

Rebecca was enjoying a family outing on the River Orwell, near Levington Marina, Suffolk, on Sunday when the accident happened.

She suffered a fractured skull, brain injuries and a broken leg when the rubber ring in which she was being towed by a speedboat, collided with a yacht.

Rebecca, who lives with her parents and younger sister Sophie, was taken to hospital in Ipswich, but due to the severity of her injuries was transferred to Addenbrookes Hospital, in Cambridge, where her condition has not improved.

Suffolk Police spokeswoman Anne-Marie Breach said: "Sadly, she remains in a very serious condition."

Rebecca is a pupil at Shenfield High School. On the social networking website Bebo.com, she says she has the "best mates in the world".

She wrote: "I'm kinda short, have medium length brown hair and brown eyes."

Suffolk Police are trying to piece together the moments leading up to the collision.
