The couple, with their two children, had left Terengganu to return home to Kedah on Sunday night. Then, the unthinkable happened. A speeding bus went out of control and slammed into the back of their car, sending the multi-purpose vehicle careening into a ravine. Nurul Ain Zakaria, 35, suffered an injury to her left rib, while her daughter, Nur Aisyah Nafishah Mohd Lutfi, 6, broke her right leg. Nur Aisyah's younger brother, Muhammad Ahsan Nafis, 2, was flung out of the car into a drain. Thankfully, an X-ray examination at Hospital Baling showed he did not suffer any major injuries. 'Mohd Lutfi has been discharged but is still taking care of his wife and children in the hospital,' according to his mother, Norlian Abd Halim, 58. Norlian said her son and daughter-in-law had travelled back to Terengganu the previous week to celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha with Nurul Ain's family. She told Bernama she had tried calling Mohd Lutfi on the day they left for Terengganu, but he did not answer. He only returned her call at 8.30am on Monday. 'He told me his family was involved in an accident ... I later saw the video of the accident, but I was too shocked to watch it till the end,' she said.
