It was a usual workday for Naku, a 28-year-old truck driver who lives in Nepal. He was transporting a truck load of sand from the river to the construction site. With two people sitting in the back, Naku drove off a bridge once he felt a sudden loss of control over the truck. The steering wheel had failed and, in a matter of seconds, one of the people on board had lost his life, one had become unconscious and Naku was lying on the bride with an open fracture.
Naku had taken up this job, which was far from home, after his wife, and the mother of their three children, died. He is worried about his injury and is concerned about how long the treatment may take and if it will hinder his mobility.
“I feel overwhelmed,” shares Naku. “I am extremely lucky to have survived this accident.”
