A young woman critically injured in a fatal road accident in Gua Musang, Malaysia, is receiving intensive care in an induced coma. Nur Balqis Abli, 21, was transferred to Hospital Sultan Ismail Petra in Kuala Krai after initial treatment at Gua Musang Hospital. She suffered severe injuries, including bleeding in the head, liver, and lungs, following a collision between her Perodua Myvi and a diesel-laden trailer on Jalan Gua Musang-Kuala Krai.
The victim who was in the back seat of the Perodua Myvi suffered serious injuries and was transferred to HSIP for further treatment.
Despite the severity of her condition, medical staff are monitoring her closely. Doctors plan to wake her soon for a reassessment, as recent CT scans indicate positive developments. The bruising on her head appears to be resolving, and her liver and lung injuries are showing signs of recovery.
Nur Balqis is now being treated in the ICU at HSIP and is still in an induced coma to allow the medical team to monitor her condition.
Family members are rallying around Nur Balqis, with her uncle, Mohamad Emerul Hakim Abdullah, sharing updates on her condition. The family is organizing a prayer vigil at the local mosque tonight, seeking divine intervention for her healing. The accident, which occurred near Gua Sejuk, involved a collision that resulted in fatalities, with Nur Balqis being the sole survivor from her vehicle.
However, several CT scans show that Nur Balqis's condition is showing positive progress, with the bruising on her head not being internal bleeding, while her liver and lung injuries are also recovering.
