Two strictly Orthodox men who were seriously injured in a car crash in Hungary were due to be flown back to the UK this week.

Yeshiva students Yehuda Roittenbarg and Benjamin Cohen, from Stamford Hill, north London, were said to be in a critical condition after their car crashed into a lorry on Wednesday last week.

The men, aged 19 and 20, were brought out of their induced comas on Monday after being treated at a hospital in the north-eastern city of Miskolc.

They were due to be flown back to the UK by private jet on Thursday and immediately transported to a central London hospital.
