Boy in fatal collision showing signs of recovery

The Star, Saturday September 14, 2013












KAJANG: Young Muhammad Nabil Luffan Al Hadi is putting up a brave fight and slowly showing signs of recovery following a fatal accident which killed his mother and three siblings on Monday.

His father Muhammad Tauffid Khasim, 44, said the three-year-old had to be placed in a medically-induced coma until he recovers further.

“When he was first admitted, he had a fractured skull and internal bleeding, but the bleeding is gradually subsiding.

“The doctors initially wanted to operate to stop the bleeding but since his condition is improving, the operation has been called off.

“I just want him to make a full recovery and come home to me and his sister,” he said.

Muhammad Tauffid said his son was still being warded in the intensive care unit at the Kajang hospital.

“Doctors are waiting for him to recover more before they operate on his broken leg,” he added.

It was earlier wrongly reported that Muhammad Nabil had succumbed to injuries at the Kajang hospital on Monday evening following the horrific accident. 

His mother Rohaya Md Rabi, 35, and three of her children, Nor Nabila Al Huda, nine, Nor Nabila Al Hana, seven, and Mohd Nabil Loffi Al Hadi, one, were killed instantly when her Perodua Kancil collided head-on with a lorry near KM8 of the Kajang-Banting Road.

A van travelling behind the lorry crashed into it following the first collision but its driver escaped unharmed.

The case is being investigated as reckless driving under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
