Father saves missing son

Tony and Leigh Lethbridge were living their worst nightmare with their teenage son Sam missing.

He was just hours from death after becoming trapped in the mangled wreck of his car in the bush.

But his father had an instinct he couldn't ignore and it ended up saving Sam's life in the most extraordinary way.

Sam was supposed to begin an apprenticeship the week after the crash with Nova Air Conditioning and Electrical.

They have kindly held that for Sam until he has recovered.

He will hopefully start it later this year.
