A 20-year-old Malaysian student suffered serious injuries after a crash with a bus while cycling in Manchester, UK yesterday (December 29th).

It’s unclear just how critical her injuries were, but Nur Izzah Mohd Shokri, a first-year accounting and finance student at the Manchester University, was rushed to hospital to undergo neurosurgery.

The news broke after Izzah’s best friend took to Twitter to share a screenshot of the first report on the incident by Manchester Evening News, while also pointing out that Izzah loves cycling.

According to Izzah's cousin, she is currently in a coma and on a respirator.

He took to Facebook to reveal that the surgery has yet to be done as the pressure in her brain from the injury has made the procedure a risky one to take, and so only time will tell.

Assalamualaikum semua sahabat-sahabat..dengan rendah hati Saya memohon sahabat2 semua untuk mendoakan kesembuhan bagi...

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Izzah’s family and we hope she has a speedy recovery.
