Jonah, 24, the commute was interrupted unexpectedly last fall. He was on the move on an electric kickboard when he and a motorist crashed. Jonah was seriously injured. He flew face above the ground and suffered a lot of damage to the head area.

In the Alive series Jonah is met four days after the accident. His upper jaw is practically loose, and part of the fracture extends as far as the skull. Jonah also has a brain injury. In the surgery seen in the series the chin is attached to the cheekbone with titanium plates and screws. The purpose of the operation is to get the bite in place. Its settlement will have to be monitored for many months. Oral and maxillofacial surgeon Johanna Snällin according to Jonah’s jaw fracture is awkward.

– The upper jaw broke and is still out of place at the moment. From the nose area, the face is pressed inwards, and the back wall of the forehead cavity is probably broken, Joona still tells about her injuries in the evening, which can already be found in the Arena.

According to oral and maxillofacial surgeon Johanna Snäll, Joona’s situation is difficult, but not unique in itself. – Jonah’s case is a typical traffic accident. Yle

Jonah also tells in the episode how hard his parents have been in recent days.

– Dad took it the worst. He wished this would have happened to him rather than me. Of course, Mom just cried and came to hug. Of course they have a bad time seeing me in this condition.
