The deceased has been identified as Mohamed Afeef of Maajehi Ge, Kurendhoo, Lhaviyani Atoll. He had sustained serious injuries when the motorcycle he was travelling on collided with a car.
The accident occurred at the four-way junction connecting Hithamaa Higun in Hulhumale’ Phase Two with Dhunburi Gas Magu. Afeef was travelling with his 24 year old son, who requires special assistance, when the crash took place.
Both father and son were initially taken to Hulhumale’ Hospital following the accident. Afeef was later transferred to Tree Top Hospital after his condition deteriorated and underwent surgery for injuries to his brain.
Afeef was subsequently treated in the hospital’s intensive care unit and placed on a ventilator. He had also been undergoing dialysis, while bleeding in the brain caused by the accident further complicated his condition.

Until his death, Afeef also continued teaching Dhivehi to numerous children through private tuition at his home.
