Heartbreaking tributes to popular junior doctor who died when hit by a car on zebra crossing as she walked to work
The 30-year-old was struck on a zebra crossing near her London home
A TRAGIC junior doctor has died after being struck by a car on a zebra crossing while walking to work, with heartbroken family and friends paying tribute.
Dr Jasjot Singhota was airlifted on Wednesday last week from the scene not far from her home, in Tulse Hill, south London, to St Thomas’ Hospital where she had worked for four years.
However after fighting for her life against internal bleeding and head injuries for eight hours with her family at her bedside, she sadly died.
The 30-year-old was due to have her organs removed for donation by her medical registrar, however they were too traumatised by the tragedy to do so.
Another surgeon carried out the procedure however, and her organs have been used to help critically ill patients.
The caring doctor had hoped one day to work for Medicin Sans Frontieres, which works to help those suffering in war zones and international conflicts.
“She was so modest but her brain was amazing, she could have developed a cure for something. She was a role model and guided me so much through life.
