A UK bride was left in critical condition earlier this month after she fell victim to a seismic explosion during her hen-do in Paris.

South Wales-born wife-to-be Ffion Price was enjoying a city break in the French capital with her bridal party, when the group elected to visit Pachamama nightclub.

Several hours in their evening on the 6 July, however, a horrific incident occurred at the socialite hot-spot saw a catastrophic explosion, after which the building was left in crumbling tatters.

According to NeedToKnow, amongst the three individuals to have sustained serious injuries in the near-fatal explosion was soon-to-be bride Ffion.

It later transpired that the battery of an electric scooter had exploded just before midnight, in turn, triggering the collapse of some of the buildings walls and ceilings.

Phillipe Fatien, the manager of the nightclub, has since told Le Parisien that 140 individuals were present in his venue when the explosion occurred.

"The incident left three people injured on the ground floor," he explained. "One seriously injured person was taken care of by emergency services and two others injured were treated at the scene."

Since being rushed to the nearest hospital, the British tourist has undergone immediate surgery for her head injury - as well as a procedure to mend a wound she sustained on her face - and has since remained in critical care.

With just over a month until she is due to walk down the aisle, Ffion's family are desperately hoping that she'll make a full recovery in time for her scheduled nuptials.

As such, a GoFundMe page has since been set up by her loved ones in her honour, in the hope that any donations will support her and her fiancée, Chris.

"Ffion remains in a hospital in Paris with her family by her side and is not expected to return until at least next week," the account currently reads.

"Understandably, Ffion and her family are distraught, especially since she and her fiancé Chris are due to get married next month.

"I am hoping to raise money to support Ffion’s family with transport and accommodation whilst out in Paris.

"I am also hoping to make Ffion’s return home as comfortable as possible and to aid her recovery so she can marry the love of her life in just six weeks."
