It seems like the motorist suffered serious head injuries, as the cousin-in-law shared that he has been losing a lot of blood due to brain haemorrhages. Doctors have reportedly stitched him up as many as three times since the incident.

The family told MS News that they are still uncertain about how the accident occurred. However, they are hopeful that the “story” behind the accident will soon come to light.
