Bruno told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday, George woke up from a coma on Sunday night and only remembers 'pulling out of his street and then being cut out of his van' by a heroic rescue team.

The young woman who crashed her Rolls-Royce into George's Mercedes was allegedly drunk and will face court.
The high-speed, head-on collision occurred at about 3.30am on Saturday at New South Head Road in Rose Bay, in the city's east.
NSW Police allege LanLan Yang, 23, veered onto the wrong side of the road, slamming into a Mercedes van being driven by the chauffeur.
George, who runs Dakota Limousines, was trapped in the wreckage as witnesses rushed to call triple zero.
He could be heard yelling for help inside the crushed vehicle, as emergency crews from NSW Police Rescue and Fire and Rescue NSW worked to free him.
The crash was captured on nearby CCTV which appeared to show Yang's luxury SUV allegedly veering into oncoming traffic before the violent collision.
Police allege Yang carried out a roadside breath test, which returned a positive result, and she was arrested at the scene.
At Waverley Police Station, she allegedly refused to undergo a breath analysis.
Yang was charged with causing bodily harm by misconduct, being in charge of a motor vehicle, and refusing or failing to submit to breath analysis.
She was granted conditional bail and ordered to surrender her passport.
Under the strict conditions, she has been prohibited from driving a car and must remain at her Waverley mansion between 8pm and 6am daily.
Yang is scheduled to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on August 15.

Fugitive Irish alleged conman who was on the run for months after Hollywood-style escape is finally arrested
An alleged conman has been arrested after escaping a detention facility by tying bedsheets together and scaling down the side of a building. Michael Connors, 26, who was travelling across Australia under multiple aliases, was caught in Box Hill, northwest of Sydney, on Thursday. Police allege the Celtic man had arrived in Brisbane from Qatar in March with an alleged counterfeit passport with the name Craig O'Neill. Australian Border Force officers detained Connors after he refused to undertake biometric checks. Connors was taken to the Meriton Suites, in Brisbane's CBD, where detainees are sometimes held before being deported. After spending just two days at Meriton Suites - and before he could be repatriated to the UK - police allege Connors tied bedsheets together and climbed out of the window from the third floor unit. Officers alleged Mr Connors had gone by several different aliases while travelling across the country using forged documents. Both are offences under Australia's Migration Act and the maximum penalty for the false documents offence is 10 years' imprisonment. The Australian Federal Police had been extensively searching for him ever since his escape and issued a warrant for his arrest in April. Officers allege Connors had outstanding interstate court matters for various offences including burglary and fraud. AFP Detective Acting Superintendent Natalie Scott said Connors had targeted vulnerable people in the community through roof-repairing scams. 'Mr Connors has a history of alleged involvement in serious offences including burglary and roof-repair scams, where he has allegedly preyed on vulnerable community members,' Ms Scott said. 'Police will allege Mr Connors has engaged in fraudulent activity across two countries and left devastated people in his wake.' Police further alleged Mr Connors had a history of using fake credentials to get into Australia and had done so many times in the past. Other names he had used which were known to police included Craig O'Neill, Michael O'Brien, John Cash, Karl George Lynch and Joseph Blyth Kennedy. In July, Connors tried to use one of his false identities to obtain a NSW driver's licence. Local police alerted the AFP and Connors was found shortly thereafter at the Sydney address he used on his licence application. He was extradited to Queensland and faced Brisbane Magistrates Court on Saturday. He was charged with one count of using false documents and false or misleading information and one count of escaping from detention. Connors' lawyer, Mark Stone, asked for the matter to be adjourned until August 15. The AFP allege he is in the country illegally.
