Hundreds of mourners have said janaza prayers at a Coventry mosque for road accident victim Waqas Hussain.
The Coventry Telegraph reports that a number of streets around the Eagle Street mosque came to a standstill yesterday as family and friends of the 20-year-old came together to pay their respects.
Mr Hussain died in hospital on Friday night two days after he was struck by a bus.
He had been on a life support machine having suffered severe injuries in the collision on Wednesday afternoon.
A number of tributes have been left on Facebook by Mr Hussain’s loved ones, including his father who stated: “After three days of being in ICU and looking at his condition deteriorate, I couldn’t cope with the fact my son was losing his battle. The specialist confirmed he’s not going to make it, so I had no option but to ask the doctors to turn off the isolators while holding his hand.
“This was the worse time of my life as he was the only one son I had and had to see him go like this. Thank you to University Hospital and their staff for all their love and support.”
