A Singaporean woman was put into an induced coma after she was seriously injured in a road accident near the wine resort town of Margaret River, about 280km south of Perth in Western Australia.
Miss Heidi Ang, 25, was driving a rented car when it was involved in an accident with a four-wheel-drive last Friday afternoon.
Also in the car were her friends — Mr Lim Zi Jie, who sat next to her in the front, and Miss Huang Huifang, who was in the back seat. They escaped with minor injuries.
Miss Huang told The New Paper on Wednesday that firefighters had to rescue Miss Ang who was trapped in the driver’s seat.
She was then flown to Royal Perth Hospital by a rescue helicopter in a serious condition, a Western Australia Police spokesman said.
Miss Ang’s older brother, Mr Wilmer Ang, said she had sustained three broken ribs and brain damage and was put into an induced coma until Sunday and has since made progress in her recovery.
Miss Huang regretted that their holiday had ended in tragic circumstances, but she was also relieved that all of them survived the crash.
She was also optimistic about Miss Ang recovery, saying: “I am sure she will be recover quickly. She is a strong girl.”
