A dad who was involved in a crash when crossing a road in Woolwich with his two sons is still fighting for his life – 16 days after one of his son’s died as a result of the incident.

Eight-year-old Mustafa Ahmed died at the scene after a motorbike crashed with him, his dad, Mohamed and brother, Ahmed, as they were on the way to the Greenwich Islamic Centre at 7.30am on February 19.

Both Mohamed, aged in his 40s, and Ahmed, 10, were found with serious injuries and taken to hospital for further treatment.

Ahmed suffered a ruptured liver but is now out of intensive care, according to the Evening Standard.

His condition is no longer life-threatening.

A spokesperson for Metropolitan Police confirmed today (March 7) that Mohamed remains in a life-threatening condition.

The Evening Standard reported that he remains in an induced coma and is unaware that his son has passed away.

Mohamed had a 10-hour operation on February 24 and reportedly had further surgery four days after.

The rider of the motorbike, a 20-year-old man, was also taken to hospital.

His condition was later assessed as not life-threatening.

He has since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

On February 26, a vigil was held for Mustafa at the spot where he was killed in Plumstead Road.

Local Labour Councillor Asli Mohammed, a family friend, told the Evening Standard that Mustafa was a happy, caring, and compassionate young boy who enjoyed playing on the trampoline and playing football.

She wrote on Twitter: “Thank you everyone who came and gave up their time today on behalf of the family to show support but to think of little Mustafa’s life.

“Thanks to GIC for facilitating and Cardwell Primary School Teachers for sharing this with us and for your beautiful reminiscence of Mustafa.”

A LaunchGood campaign has been started to raise money for the family. It currently stands at £6,327 and has a target of £7,500.
