Close to $12,000 in donations have been raised to help defray the medical bills of an eight-year-old girl who has been in a coma since last Friday after she was flung out of a van during an accident in Woodlands. The girl suffered a head injury and broke both her legs, and needed emergency surgery. She is now in the intensive care unit at KK Women's and Children's Hospital, where her father Eric Tan, 45, and his wife have been taking turns keeping vigil, hoping she wakes up.

A long-time friend of Mr Tan's, Mr Andy Ang, 35, was the one who led the fund-raising effort.
