“They will be discharged by the doctor. However, they would be required to seek follow-up treatment,” Dr Aman told reporters when met at HSA here today.
Dr Aman earlier accompanied Johor Women and Family Affairs Committee chairman Asiah Md Ariff to visit the eight injured cyclists, their families and the families of the eight youths who were killed in the accident.
Apart from Farhan and Zulfadli, Muhammad Fitri Muhammad Fatoni, 17; Abdul Samad Abdul Kadir, 16; Muhammad Arif Salman, 15; and Muhammad Arasshat Abdullah, 14, were admitted to the normal ward of the hospital. Mohamed Shamizal Iqmal Abdullah, 16; and Muhd Nazri Mahmudi, 13, were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
“Of the six youths who are warded, four have already undergone surgery while two others are awaiting surgery. The two admitted to the ICU are still under intensive care,” Dr Aman said.
In Saturday’s tragedy, a woman driving a Nissan Almera car ploughed into a group of teenagers at about 3.30am, killing six on the spot. Two others died on the way to the hospital while eight were injured.
Johor Bahru Selatan police chief ACP Sulaiman Salleh said 20 to 30 youths were cycling in a group and hogging the road along Jalan Lingkaran Dalam before the car ploughed into them.
