Jane Rubens was involved in an accident in the United States earlier this month .

She suffered severe brain injuries and multiple haemorrhages after being hit by an SUV.

Her family say they were faced with having to accept her return to the UK against medical advice or her travel insurance policy would be cancelled.

Her insurance company, AXA Partners , initially told the family Mrs Rubens would need to be repatriated on Monday despite several medics advising against the move.

Following a social media outcry, the insurers backed down, saying: "The welfare of Ms Rubens and her family remains our priority".

We have spoken with Ms Rubens’ family and will remain in contact with them over the coming days to support them. "Our medical team and Ms Rubens ’ treating doctors will agree the best course of action going forward. We are considering all available options and the welfare of Ms Rubens and her family remains our priority.”.
