Sana Iqbal, a brave heart who took up the cause of depression, died yesterday morning in a biking accident. Sana, 30, herself battling depression when she undertook her first solo journey in November 2015, hoping that a bike accident on the highway would bring a quick end to her misery went across 29 Indian states and union territories before her death.
She died instantly in the early morning accident after her estranged husband, Abdul Nadeem, 35, who was at the wheel, rammed the vehicle into a road divider.
The accident occurred around 4am at Narsingi, while the couple was travelling towards Gachibowli in west Hyderabad. Nadeem, who works as a manager with Amazon, also suffered injuries, breaking two of his ribs and is undergoing treatment at a city hospital.
The left side of the car was destroyed upon impact.Police witnesses said the couple was wearing seat belts, but the car did not have any air bags, which is why they sustained several injuries.”Sana also sustained severe head injuries and fractured her arms and legs in the accident,” said Kumar, the police officer.
During her solo bike ride in 2015, Sana’s perspective towards life changed after she met several people from different walks of life. The celebrity woman biker, who also took part in cross country trips, used to hold counseling session against suicide and depression for youth, and gave speeches at schools and colleges across India during her trips.
