Aussie Man Wakes up from Coma after Car Crash Speaking Chinese Instead of English

Two years ago Ben McMahon, pictured above, woke up from a coma more than a week after a horrific car crash that almost claimed his life only being able to speak Mandarin.

The 22-year-old remembers how he woke up and saw a nurse who looked Asian standing by his bed and said to her 'Excuse me nurse, I feel really sore here' in Chinese. He then asked the nurse for a piece of paper and pen and he wrote on it in Mandarin: 'I love my mum, I love my dad, I will recover.' His sudden new-found language skills baffled his doctors as well as his parents.
