      British Toddler Accidentally Sent To Morgue In Body Bag After Saudi Crash

      A British toddler pulled from the wreckage of a car crash that killed five family members was sent to a morgue in a body bag by mistake after emergency workers believed him dead.

      Mohammed Eisa Danial Hayat was the sole survivor of the devastating crash during a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, on 8th February.

      The unconscious toddler underwent a second ordeal when he was zipped into a body bag and transported to a morgue, it was revealed today.

      But as he was being put into storage his body began moving and stunned officials rushed him by ambulance to hospital.

      The potentially catastrophic mistake was revealed for the first time today as grieving relatives spoke of the accident.

      They have also launched a campaign lobbying for better regulation of taxis in Saudi Arabia after the tragic events of last February.

      Eisa and his family were travelling in a taxi when it hit a bridge and flipped over, killing the driver and the whole of his family.

      The driver, understood to have been going too fast at the time, was uninsured and is believed to have fallen asleep at the wheel.

      Eisa suffered a dislocated shoulder, broken arm and ribs in the crash but survived thanks to his grandfather holding him tightly in his arms.

      His mother Bilques, 30, who was pregnant at the time and due to give birth in eight weeks, died in the accident.

      Also killed were his father Mohammed, 33, grandfather Shaukat, 56, grandmother Abida, 47, and his aunt Saira, 29.

      The devastating crash happened as the family, from Newport, south Wales, were in the country for Umrah, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca.

      Officials on the scene in Saudi Arabia were so certain nobody had survived Eisa was taken to the morgue with his family and the driver.

      The toddler, who has since turned two, is now back in Wales and being looked after by members of his parents’ extended family.

      “They thought ‘oh, the little baby was dead, no-one could’ve survived that.’ So they took him, zipped him up in the bag and took him to the morgue,” Shaukat’s brother, Shazada Hayat, told Wales On Sunday.

      “He ended up in the mortuary. As they were putting him in [to storage], he moved around.

      “They grabbed him, put him in an ambulance and rushed him to the Medina Children’s Care Hospital.”

      He went on to speak of his family’s efforts to get the law changed in Saudi Arabia to ensure only licensed and insured taxi drivers can operate.

      “By us lobbying or asking for these changes, we might not be able to save hundreds and hundreds of lives, but if we could save one life, then it’s a step in the right direction,” he said.

      “Our concern is wellbeing. These roads must be made safe, not only for the Saudis living there but those pilgrims going there.

      “People come there from all over the world. We can’t just stay silent and do nothing about it.”

      He also described the slow process of returning to normal for Eisa who barely ate anything for six weeks after the tragedy.

      “Time is the great healer as they say. It may heal some parts but obviously there will always be a vacuum for him. No matter how much anyone tries, you can’t replace the parents,” said Mr Hayat.

      Two weeks ago, the toddler and other family members travelled back to Saudi Arabia to visit the graves of those who died in the accident.

      All five Hayats were buried at Jannat-ul-Baqi, a cemetery in Medina where the prophet Muhammed is said to be buried.

      “Not everyone gets buried next to the prophet. For a Muslim you could not get a higher honour than that. That is the part of it that keeps all the family going,” said Mr Hayat.

        Aussie MP Accidentally ‘Likes’ Picture Of Teenage Boy’s Testicles

        Before you click ‘Like’ on a picture of a teenage boy on Facebook, always make sure he is not secretly displaying his testicles – especially if you are a government minister.

        Australian education minister Peter Collier has had to apologise after falling victim to a prank known as “sneaky nuts”.

        In December 2011 a 16-year-old Young Liberal posted a seemingly innocent photo of himself on Facebook and it received 30 ‘Likes’ including one from Collier – what the politician did not notice was the boy’s subtle state of undress.

        “At first glance it appeared to be a harmless picture,” Collier said in a statement. “It was a silly mistake on my part. I only became aware of the actual content of the photo when shown by a journalist today.”

        He added: “This obviously highlights the pitfalls of social media. I apologise if I caused any offence.”

        The picture prank was made popular by Australian comedian Chris Lilley’s TV show Angry Boys.

        According to The Herald, Labor’s Sue Ellery called for an investigation. “This is a man who is a senior minister in charge of the professional standards of dealing with young people and young people’s use of social media,” she said.

        The awkward mistake only came to light last month when the teenager told his Twitter followers what he had done.

          George In Motorway Accident

          George Michael has been involved in a motorway car accident.

          The ‘Careless Whisper’ singer was reportedly airlifted to hospital after paramedics were called to the incident on the M1 junction 6A, near St Albans, in Hertfordshire, at about 17:50 BST on Thursday.

          A statement from his publicist reads: “George Michael was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic accident yesterday evening, no third party was involved. He is being treated for superficial cuts and bruises but is fine. We have no further comment at this time.”

          Ambulance spokesman Gary Sanderson told the BBC: “The man who we believe to be in his 40s sustained a head injury and following treatment, stabilisation and immobilisation by land and air ambulance crews, he was flown to hospital for further care.”

          This isn’t George’s first car accident. In September 2010, he was given an eight-week sentence for crashing his car into a branch of photographic store Snappy Snaps, while under the influence of cannabis.

          He was also fined £1,250 at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court in London and given a five-year driving ban.

          Get well soon, George!
