Life can be unpredictable, and for Mohammad Jafri, a 27-year-old Malaysian working in Singapore, a routine morning commute turned into a life-altering incident.
On the morning of November 21, Jafri found himself in intensive care with severe head injuries after a traffic accident along the Pan Island Expressway, according to Shin Min Daily News.
Overview of the Incident
In the hustle and bustle of Singapore’s morning traffic, tragedy struck when Jafri collided with the rear of a Tower Transit bus while returning home after a night shift.
The accident occurred at 7.30 am, leaving Jafri lying on the ground with paramedics rushing to his aid.
The circumstances surrounding the collision are yet to be fully understood, as investigations by the police are still ongoing.
Photos circulating on social media depict the critical moments after the accident, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
Extent of Injuries
Jafri’s father, Miraan, shared that his son’s skull and ribs are fractured, requiring stabilization before surgery.
The uncertainty in stabilizing Jafri’s condition poses a significant challenge for the medical team overseeing his care. The severity of Jafri’s injuries adds complexity to the medical intervention required.
Jafri as the Sole Breadwinner
Jafri, a resident of Johor Bahru, had moved to Singapore a year ago, working as a lorry driver and being the sole breadwinner for his family.
Being the eldest of three children, Jafri’s responsibility as the sole breadwinner is crucial for his family, especially given his father’s health challenges.
Miraan reveals that the family already faces health challenges, with one child still studying and another frail and sick. The accident not only jeopardizes Jafri’s health but also puts the financial stability of the family at risk.
The family remains uncertain about the cause of the accident, emphasizing the need for witnesses to come forward. The ongoing police investigations aim to shed light on the circumstances leading to the collision.
Miraan expresses hope that witnesses will step forward and provide crucial information about the incident.
