PARALYZED BY AN ACCIDENT

         When he was told that he would never walk again, he laughed it off because he thought it was the biggest joke. But when reality dawned on him, it actually sounded like a dream, he had injured his spine, ruptured her intestines and internal organs. He has been sitting on the wheelchair for fourteen years. This has really changed his life as he was the breadwinner in his family. He has to rely on his wife who does odd jobs to sustain his once blooming family.

          He is passionate about road safety because he strongly believes accidents can be prevented.
