HOLIDAY HELL: Miss Heidi Ang (middle) with her friends Mr Lim Zi Jie (left) and Miss Huang...
A Singaporean woman was put into an induced coma after she was seriously injured in a road accident near the wine resort town of Margaret River, about 280km south of Perth in Western Australia.
Miss Heidi Ang, 25, was driving a rented car when it was involved in an accident with a four-wheel-drive last Friday afternoon.
Also in the car were her friends — Mr Lim Zi Jie, who sat next to her in the front, and Miss Huang Huifang, who was in the back seat. They escaped with minor injuries.
Miss Huang told The New Paper on Wednesday that firefighters had to rescue Miss Ang who was trapped in the driver’s seat.
She was then flown to Royal Perth Hospital by a rescue helicopter in a serious condition, a Western Australia Police spokesman said.
Miss Ang’s older brother, Mr Wilmer Ang, said she had sustained three broken ribs and brain damage and was put into an induced coma until Sunday and has since made progress in her recovery.
Miss Huang regretted that their holiday had ended in tragic circumstances, but she was also relieved that all of them survived the crash.
She was also optimistic about Miss Ang recovery, saying: "I am sure she will be recover quickly. She is a strong girl."

SINGAPORE: A Singaporean woman who was injured in a road trip in Perth has regained consciousness, after being in an induced coma for nearly a week.
Ms Heidi Ang, 24, who was travelling with two friends, was behind the wheel when another car allegedly crashed into her rented Toyota Corolla hatchback last Friday (June 26). The three friends were in the Margaret River region in Western Australia.
The accident left Ms Ang, an account engineer, with three broken ribs and a brain injury. The two passengers - Ms Huang Huifang, 24, travel consultant, and Mr Lim Zi Jie, 26, an undergraduate - suffered minor injuries.
She was taken to the Royal Perth Hospital in a rescue helicopter, and had been in a medically induced coma.
Her brother, 27-year-old Wilmer Ang, told The Straits Times on Thursday: "She's slowly regaining consciousness and responding to my parents and the doctors, so that's great improvement.
"We were told that hopefully next week, she will be in a condition to fly back to Singapore."
Mr Ang, a research analyst, remained in Singapore, while his parents flew to Perth last Saturday. He believes that it was his sister's first time driving overseas.
"Obviously after this incident, we will discourage her from driving overseas. She probably wouldn't want to do it too."
