Difahamkan seorang lelaki berbangsa Cina yang memakai seluar pendek menunggang sebuah motosikal cuba untuk melewati lampu tanda isyarat merah di waktu itu. Lapuran polis telah dibuat dengan nombor pendaftaran motor yang telah diambil oleh pejalan kaki yang membantu Rena. Alhamdulillah beliau telah selamat menjalani pembedahan di pergelangan kaki kanannya yang patah pada hari Isnin 18 Februari dan dibenarkan pulang 2 hari kemudian. Bagi rakan-rakan yang ingin melawat Rena, boleh terus ke rumahnya di Wangsa Maju. Untuk maklumat lanjut sila hubungi Ani di pejabat SENIMAN. http://seniman.com.my/.//article.php?story=20080222111435644 Artis veteran Yusni Jaafar semakin bersemangat dengan kunjungan anak-anak, saudara mara dan para sahabat seniman tanahair dari pelbagai golongan. Walaupun diberitakan tentang penyakit beliau yang semakin kritikal dan menggusarkan peminat serta keluarga, Ibu Yusni semakin tabah mengharunginya. Sesuatu yang memeranjatkan apabila semangat beliau dengan izin Allah yang maha kuasa telah membolehkannya bangun, makan dan mula berjalan. Lebih melegakan rasa, apabila beliau akan bersatu semula dengan anak-anaknya dan akan bersama mereka di kediaman keluarga selepas dibenarkan keluar dari hospital pada hari ini, Jumaat 22 Februari ataupun esok. Alhamdulillah.. Pun begitu, marilah kita terus mendoakan kesihatan Ibu Yusni akan bertambah baik kerana di sebalik semangatnya yang tinggi itu, kesihatannya masih tidak membenarkannya untuk bergerak aktif apalagi untuk beraksi di depan kamera semula.
