A 17-year-old student from Batu Pahat, Johor, has lost his life after spending 2 days in a coma following a road accident.

According to a report by China Press, the accident took place when the student was riding a motorcycle to school at 6am on November 1 (Tuesday). While on his way, he had hit a hole on a manhole cover on the road, causing him to sustain serious injuries including to the head.
