One of three minors who were injured in a dangerous accident at Laamu atoll Kalaidhoo island late Saturday was pronounced brain dead by Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) on Monday.
The accident occurred in the middle of the night on Saturday while three boys were out riding motorcycles on Kalaidhoo island’s main road. According to the island council, two of the boys aged thirteen did not suffer serious injuries.
