Sahar Academy player: It was a miracle that we survived after the accident.
Samana Sabzada in an interview with Fars:
I was awake and alert from the first moment of the accident until the end when I got off the bus. I was awake the whole time. The bus was going fast and the weather was rainy. The bus skidded several times, I don't know if the driver was asleep or how he lost control.
From the first moment I prayed that nothing would happen when the bus suddenly skidded. I was the last seat and saw everyone. I was sure we were going to leave, so I held the seat tight so nothing would happen to my head.
It was 25 minutes to the nearest hospital and the ambulance arrived 20 minutes later, which meant our players were unconscious for 20 minutes. I heard a gentleman say there was a diesel leak and we had to get everyone out. I was in so much pain that I passed out. I would see the children and someone would hit him in the face and say that Gazal passed out, Freya also said that my leg is numb and I don't feel it.
All I tried was to pull myself off the roof. Mr. Ayler and I were the first to get out and jumped to get away from the bus.
My 4 ribs are broken and my lumbar vertebra is also broken. Now, thank God, my general condition is better. My lung was bleeding, but it wasn't dangerous. I put a belt that I have to be in bed for a month and a half, and I don't have to do sports for 3 months.
Priya Mahramand's first surgery was successful, but she had to wait a bit because her foot is infected, but she has a few more surgeries. Ghazal had surgery on her eye sockets, Fatma Gulabgir went to the doctor and the doctor said that her lung is punctured, but it is not an acute problem.
Everyone we spoke to said it was a miracle we survived. God preserved us like a miracle in this situation.
