          The family of Phoebe Nolly, who survived a serious crash on State Highway 43 near Toko, has shared a positive update as she moves out of intensive care and prepares for brain injury rehabilitation.

          Family of Phoebe Nolly, the victim of a SH43 crash that occurred near Toko on June 9th, has shared an update on her recovery:

          "Phoebe's progress is slow but steady. She has a long road to recovery ahead of her but she is out of ICU and there are plans to transfer her to ABI rehabilitation, which is for rehabilitation from brain injuries."

          "She is very determined and is trying to stand, and she moves around a lot even with her many fractures still healing."

          "Phoebe has also said a few words and recognises some familiar people. She even read some words out loud that she saw on some hospital equipment."

          "We are so humbled by the outpouring of love and support that everyone has shown us and we will forever be very grateful."

          "It will take a while but Phoebe is very determined and very strong, and with all of us behind her she has definitely got this. She is a survivor. Once again, thank you everyone for being there for Phoebe and us."
