Still can't believe you're gone.. Lena-na
|
|
i was at the gym yesterday when my mum called me at 6pm, crying badly. she had news that Lena was involved in a car accident and had passed away. she asked me to see if i could find out any news coz all that our families had were sketchy details.. shocked. i was kind of in a daze. how could this happened? why did it happened? most importantly.. what happened..
im penning these down from what ive found out, so you all, close friends, classmates, hall mates, buddies.. can know what happened to our beloved Lena.
Lena was in alaska for work and travel. she had gone there with 3 friends after completing her final semester in NUS. on the fateful day of 5th Jun 2006, at 8am singapore time, Lena, derlyn and their supervisor were heading to canada (im not sure which part though..) for leisure. they were intending to go sightseeing and horseback riding.. after crossing the border, derlyn took over the wheel. she was travelling at 25kmph (or was it mph? i'll need to check) down the uneven and narrow highway, when in the opposite direction was an oncoming car. seeing that it was quite close them, derlyn kept the car to the right to give way. unknownly, the edge of the road was a step higher than the sides (probably grass or sand i guess) and it went over the edge. trying to bring the car back on the road, derlyn turned to the left..
at this point, the car flipped over onto its side, dragged along the ground for a short distance before halting. looking back, derlyn n their supervisor were shocked to find Lena not in the back seat. its only a guess that she was thrown out the window. (my mum also thinks Lena was probably asleep. coz she shld have been able to brace herself when something happened..) with the help of passers-by, they got out of the car and found that some others had already help pull Lena away from the car from fear of it toppling over. checking Lena, it was found she still had a pulse and was still breathing. but she was unconscious. with none of them carrying a mobile phone, they appealed to those around to help call for help. unfortunately with the lack of mobile coverage, many didnt have a signal. derlyn wanted to flip the car back and drive Lena to the nearest hospital (which was almost an hour and a half away). but one passer-by who knew first aid felt that being unsure of Lena's injuries, it would be best to wait for the paramedics.
They ensured that Lena wasnt choking on anything but she had blood in her mouth gurgling so they helped her to her front, to ensure she didnt choke on her blood. when the paramedics arrived 45mins later, they found Lena not breathing and there was also no pulse. derlyn n their supervisor were told that there was nothing they could do already. derlyn argued whether they could still bring her to the hospital, coz even if they didnt have the right equipment then, there had to be something they could do on the way! but they were told that Lena had passed away even before they arrived. From the point of impact to the passing, Lena didnt regain consciousness.
As of now, Lena's elder sister, her friend and our mutual aunt have gone over to canada to settle what needs to be settled. if you're friends of Lena, you can check back here for updates when i have any news.
