Heartstricken Indian family express doubts about the survival of their infant following a tragic car accident in Abu Dhabi which claimed the lives of both parents.
Critical Condition: Four-Month-Old Baby Remains on Life Support After Abu Dhabi Accident
A four-month-old baby is fighting for life in an Abu Dhabi hospital following a tragic road accident on August 7. The infant, who sustained severe head injuries, is currently on life support with little hope of recovery[1][4][5].
The accident occurred when the family's car, driven by the baby's father, Syed Waheed (35), hit a road divider and then a pole while returning home to Al Ruwais from Abu Dhabi. Both parents, Syed Waheed and Sana Begum (27), were killed instantly in the crash[1][2][5].
The couple's two elder daughters, Sidra (7) and Sadia (2), were also injured in the accident. They have undergone surgery for fractures to their legs and are currently recovering in hospital[1][4][5].
The baby's uncle, Mr. Mateen, was the last person to see the family alive on August 7. He is struggling to cope with the sudden tragedy and is still withholding the news of the parents' death from his nieces[1][4]. Mr. Mateen is waiting for his father to arrive in Abu Dhabi from Hyderabad, India, before discussing the parents' death with the children[1].
Mr. Mateen values the guidance and kindness of his brother-in-law, Mr. Waheed, and is deeply saddened by his loss. Mr. Waheed, who was skilled at handling critical situations, had lived in the UAE for seven years and moved from Abu Dhabi to Al Ruwais a year ago due to his job with a technology company[1].
The family is hoping to break the news of the parents' death to the two young girls after they recuperate from their injuries[1]. Meanwhile, the baby's grandfather is expected to reach Abu Dhabi to take custody of his grandchildren[1].
The Indian Embassy facilitated the repatriation of the parents' bodies to their hometown in Telangana, India[1][2][3][5]. Our thoughts remain with the family during this difficult time.
