Ms. Sabrina was returning from the United Arab Emirates to complete the last few months of her MBBS course at Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, after a short visit to her family. She had sustained a fracture on her left leg and a sprain on her right ankle, besides some minor injuries, in the crash.
