Home and Away spoilers: Car crash danger for John Palmer!

Home and Away, John Palmer

After falling asleep at the wheel of his car, things go from bad to worse for John Palmer when he crashes his car and suffers a head injury...

John Palmer (played by Shane Withington) is exhausted on Home and Away, as he continues to drive backwards and forwards between Summer Bay and the city to visit his injured soldier son, Jett.

John's wife Marilyn Chambers (Emily Symons) thinks he's being overprotective of Jett and needs to make up his mind whether he is coming or going, because their lives are in Summer Bay. But her warning has fallen on deaf ears.

On his way to visit Jett in the city, John starts to fall asleep and loses control of his car, which crashes and leaves him with a head injury. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, will a confused and injured John wander off into danger?

Meanwhile, having taken the advice of her mystery online friend "Tommy", teenager Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller) is happy staying put at the Beach House rather than moving back in with her big brother, Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin).
