The accident occurred at around 6.55 pm on Saturday resulting in the 30-year-old having the right side of his face ripped away. He was admitted to the hospital while in an unconscious state.

His mother, Simone Dowding had told this newspaper that she was at home about to go to bed when she received a call informing her that her son was in an accident. The woman said she immediately rushed to the hospital where she barely managed to get a glimpse of Grant.
