Indian student Sai Teja is fighting for his life after a terrible car accident in Alabama.
27-year-old Indian student Sai Teja is fighting for his life after he was seriously injured in a car accident in Montgomery, Alabama. According to reports, Teja’s car was hit by a young driver when he was returning from a friend’s graduation party.
His friend Akhil, who was also in the car and sustained minor injuries, has set up a fundraiser to help Teja’s family overcome the difficult situation.The accident left Sai Teja with a serious brain injury, a broken jaw, and a broken left leg, and he is in the intensive care unit in an unconscious state at Southern Baptist Medical Center in Alabama. Originally from Hyderabad, Sai came to the United States on a student visa and recently completed his master’s degree from the University of New England.
He was looking for work and did not have any insurance in the United States.“Doctors have made it clear that recovery from such serious injuries will be a long and uncertain journey,” Akhil wrote in the fundraiser. “Even after he regains consciousness, he is expected to require extensive rehabilitation, including neurological care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and ongoing medical treatment for several months, perhaps a year or more.”
“Saiteja is an international student in the United States with dreams and aspirations for his future. Unfortunately, his father and brother are currently in India and unable to be by his side. A small group of family members and close friends in the United States are working together to support him and coordinate his care during this difficult time,” the fundraiser noted, requesting assistance with hospital and medical expenses, rehabilitation and treatment costs, specialized medical equipment and care, and expenses related to transportation, recovery and long-term treatment needs.
