One of the critically injured victims of the Bourke Street tragedy was in her first week back at work after maternity leave.
Nethra Krishnamurthy was returning to the office, after breastfeeding her eight-month-old baby boy in day care, when she was run over in Bourke Street on Friday.

Ms Krishnamurthy, who is in her 30s, sustained serious injuries, including deep lacerations to her head, a punctured lung, damage to her liver and kidneys, as well as broken ribs and three fractures to her spine.
She had been in a coma in intensive care but on Monday woke and was responsive, according to her friends and colleagues. She remains in a critical but stable condition in The Alfred.

Her husband has been by her bedside. The couple have no family in Australia so their baby has been in the care of a work colleague and family friends.
A fundraising page has been set-up by her workplace to help her recovery.

"Given the severity of her injuries, Nethra will remain in hospital for quite some time, and following this will have a long road to recovery, both physically and psychologically," fundraising co-ordinator and colleague Tanvir Chowdhury said.
