The father-in-law of British actress Amanda Holden is making full recovery after being involved in a serious road accident while on holiday in Los Angeles .
According to media reports, Mike Hughes was taken into intensive care after being crushed by a car which flipped over and spun straight into him.
The 72-year-old was left in coma following the freak accident which occurred near the famous Sunset Boulevard last week.
Amanda and her husband Chris discovered the news two days after the incident as Mike had no identification on him at the time of the collision. The pair flew out to LA but as soon as they were informed of the accident .
A spokeswoman for the Britain's Got Talent judge, who returned to the UK on Friday, said: "It's been a very tough time but it looks like Mike is out of the woods and making a full recovery."
A friend of Mr Hughes added: "It's a miracle he is still alive. He was in a coma for two days and nobody knew who he was because he didn't have any ID on him."
Los Angeles police are continuing to investigate the cause of the car crash .
