The mother of six-year-old Sheyna Lashira, who died in a Feb. 6 car accident along South Bridge Road, remains in intensive care at a Singapore hospital, said the
Indonesian police.
Raisha Anindra, 31, was struck by a car that had been exiting a carpark along with her young daughter.
Both were conveyed to hospital, but the girl later succumbed to her injuries.
While the girl's body has been claimed by relatives and repatriated to Jakarta, Raisha is still receiving treatment at the Singapore General Hospital.
She is in stable condition but has not yet been cleared to return home to Jakarta, according to Indonesian news site
Kumparan.
Embassy assisting family: Indonesia police
The family are reportedly tourists from Indonesia who were in Singapore for a holiday.
Staff from the Indonesian embassy earlier visited the family in hospital and met with Sheyna's father to provide assistance and support, a spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, the driver, a Singaporean woman, has since been detained by the Singapore authorities, according to the Indonesian police.
A spokesperson from the Singapore Police Force confirmed with
Mothership that a 38-year-old female driver was assisting with police investigations.
She was later arrested for causing death while driving.
"Like an angel"
Rara, Sheyna's aunt and Raisha's older sister, described the girl as "like an angel".
She had been attending kindergarten in Jakarta, and was always bringing joy to the people around her, she said.
"She was kind and very cheerful... Always making people happy. Whenever you saw her, you'd think that she was such a delightful child," she told
Kumparan.
She also expressed hope that Raisha would recover quickly and be reunited with the rest of the extended family.
"Please just pray that she gets well soon and recovers quickly, so she can return to Jakarta, to Indonesia again," she said.
The accident
According to an eyewitness, a dark-coloured BYD car was allegedly exiting the car park and was making a right turn when it hit the mother and daughter.
The girl and her mother had been crossing the road, while the father had walked ahead and was pushing a stroller with their two-year-old child.
While the mother appeared to later regain consciousness, the girl was seen bleeding profusely.
Her father was later seen holding her in his arms and calling for help, in a video posted by Facebook user Nguyen Thi Hanh.
"My family... Please, oh my God, why," he could be heard crying.
