The 29-year-old remains in a critical condition in the hospital, with her mother now sharing a devastating update on her condition.

"Klaudia is in critical condition, and due to the severity of her injuries," Kinga wrote, adding: "Doctors do not believe she will survive."
However, the mother revealed that she was refusing to give up hope on her daughter, writing: "I truly believe her fight is not over! Klaudia is strong, and I know she still has a chance.
"Anyone who knew my gorgeous daughter knows how truly wonderful she is. She has touched so many people with her pure heart and kindness, and she deserves every chance to keep fighting."
She went on to explain that funds raised would allow the family to explore every possible form of treatment available to Klaudia. "As things stand. Funds are currently going towards our legal fees, supporting the family and any other possible treatment options that may be available for Klaudia," she wrote.
"If at any time things take a turn for the worst, additional funds will go towards funeral costs and continuous support for the family."
At the time of writing, the fundraiser has raised over £16k of its £50k target.
Meanwhile, former X Factor contestant Gabrielle Carrington has been charged with attempted murder in relation to the incident.
Confirming Carrington's arrest in a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: "Gabrielle Carrington, 29, of Broadfield Road, Manchester, has been charged with attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm and drink driving."
A man in his 50s and a woman in her 30s were also injured during the incident, while Carrington is understood to have had 61 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath when tested; the legal limit is 35.
Describing the moments leading up to Klaudia being hit by the car, prosecutor Rizwan Amin told the court that it was a 'melee' with 'lots of people shouting'.
"The full extent of the incident wasn't appreciated at the time officers had attended," he added.
Police have also said they 'have been made aware of extremely graphic footage of the incident circulating online', and urged the public not to share footage of the incident, out of respect for the victims, and so as not to prejudice criminal proceedings'.
David Malone, deputy chief crown prosecutor in London North, said: "We remind all concerned that proceedings against the defendant are active and that she has the right to a fair trial.
"It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."
