Central Texas Hit-And-Run Victim Suffers Setback
A Texas woman involved in a hit-and-run car accident is still struggling with her physical recovery. The woman sustained critical injuries in the accident earlier in the month, resulting in a lengthy hospital stay and the need for physical therapy. The hit-and-run accident has caused serious financial pressure for her and her family.
The woman was struck by a red pickup truck shortly after midnight. The impact of the accident threw her several feet and resulted in two broken legs, a broken back and a shattered pelvis. The woman was in intensive care for a week and was unable to see her son for two weeks after the crash. Although she was hoping to spend time with her family soon, an unexpected development will keep her in the hospital for several more weeks.
The woman has developed a major infection in her stomach and will be required to have surgery. Unfortunately, the woman did not have insurance at the time of the accident. She also cannot work and the mounting medical bills may result in the family losing their home. The driver has not been apprehended yet, but authorities say the truck involved should have damage to the headlight on its passenger side.
