The motorist is my uncle. He is fine but still in shock. My whole family would like to thank all the people who assisted him. We would especially like to send our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Ravindran and the 2 other passer-bys who helped rescue my uncle. We understood that Mr. Ravindran's passport and phone was damaged in the rescue. Mr. Ravindran had decline the offer for us to replace his passport and phone. His sincerity has touched us even more. No words and actions can convey our gratitude. We will always remember all kindness and bravery shown. We will always keep them in our prayers.
