Houston Nursing Student Jenisha Budha Magar Critically Injured in Serious Car Accident, Family Seeks Support
Jenisha Budha Magar, a nursing student in Houston, remains in critical condition after suffering life-threatening injuries in a serious car accident on January 29, 2026. The crash occurred around 1:30 p.m. near 13884 Beamer Road as she and other students were leaving a university parking area after class.
Jenisha, originally from Dang (Ghorahi), Nepal, moved to the United States in July 2025 to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. She is currently enrolled at San Jacinto Community College and is known by family as a compassionate young woman dedicated to helping others.
According to her family, five students were in the vehicle at the time of the accident. While others sustained minor to moderate injuries, Jenisha, who was seated in the middle of the back seat, suffered the most severe impact. Doctors diagnosed her with severe internal bleeding, a concussion, a skull fracture, and multiple fractures to her ribs and pelvic bones.
Emergency responders initially transported her to a nearby hospital before airlifting her to Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center due to the seriousness of her condition. Surgeons performed emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding, and she is now receiving critical care in the Intensive Care Unit. Although she has regained consciousness, doctors say her condition remains critical, and she will require additional surgeries, prolonged ICU care, and extensive rehabilitation.
Jenisha’s brother, Saurav Magar, who is currently by her side and acting as her primary caregiver in the U.S., has launched a fundraiser to help cover overwhelming medical expenses. As an international student, Jenisha faces significant financial challenges related to emergency treatment and long-term recovery.
