A dad who went into a coma after he and his two sons were hit by a motorbike didn't even remember his son who died in the same smash.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Mao, 49, was holding little Mustafa Ahmed\u2019s hand as they crossed the road in southeast London when they were struck by the vehicle on a Sunday evening in February.<\/p>\n

The small boy was flung several yards and died at the scene, while Mohamed suffered a head injury and shattered hip. He was airlifted to hospital with his other son, Ahmed Ahmed, 11, who sustained a punctured liver and neck lacerations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t remember anything, I don\u2019t know what happened that night,\u201d he explained to the Mirror after returning to the scene. He understands from witness accounts the lights were on red as they crossed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mohamed's last memory of Mustafa was a few days before. \u201cI went for a walk, just me and him, along the River Thames near our house,\u201d he said, smiling. \u201cWe used to go along there a lot. That\u2019s all I can remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mohamed was in an induced coma for several weeks and underwent multiple operations as well as intensive therapy to regain his speech and memory.<\/p>\n

The bus driver, originally from Somalia, has not been able to work since the incident and, walking on crutches, he is still awaiting a hip replacement.<\/p>\n

It took weeks of therapy took place before doctors deemed he was of stable enough mind to tell him what happened. \u201cWhen I woke up, I didn\u2019t remember anything, I didn\u2019t know my wife, I didn\u2019t know anybody,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know the reason I was there.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added on thinking about his son: \u201cI was still confused a bit, they told me about my son about two months later. When they saw I was speaking better, they called me into a room, with my wife and the doctors and told me what happened.<\/p>\n
