Couple Who Survived Serious Car Accident Gets Engaged in Hospital ICU: ‘Love Wins’

Elliot Griffiths and Zak Nelson of Norwich, England, had just arrived in Reykjavik, Iceland, on April 19 when they were involved in a head-on collision in their rental car, as Nelson explained in a video he posted on TikTok.

“I’m in Iceland on what was meant to be the last day of a holiday. A nice trip, Elliot and I renting a car, driving around the entire country seeing all sorts of things,” a visibly emotional Nelson recounted, explaining that they landed and spent a few hours exploring before calling it a day.

About 4:15 p.m. driving towards our accommodation for the night, some twonk decided that they were going to pull out and overtake a van whilst we were driving towards them,” he continued. “They appeared out of nowhere and smashed into us head on, and I was doing about 55 miles per hour at the time.”
