Description
Excerpted from the website:
- On February 7, 2002 , Jennifer DeWitt's life, and that of her family and friends, was turned upside down. At age 24, Jennifer was involved in a nearly fatal car crash while on her way to meet her friends for dinner. Her car was struck by a speeding motorist traveling more than 30 miles over the speed limit. After the crash, Jennifer was immediately flown to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center, where Dr. Tom Scalea, Chief Physician at Shock Trauma, and his team, performed an operation removing Jennifer's ruptured spleen, which was causing internal bleeding. Jennifer had also fractured both hips, injured her brain stem, suffered a broken clavicle, a collapsed lung, along with countless other maladies including double vision. Her injuries were so severe, that her parents arranged for a priest to administer her last rights.
