Hi this is Vicky's mother, i appreciate all the beautiful comment's all you lovely people posted it made me smile and i'm sure you all put a big smile on Vicky's face again i thank all of you and by the way it was a regular. Size pickup. If you anyone would like to talk to me especially any o Vicky's friends i would love to hear from you. Thank you and God bless you all.
Hi Crystal, Im sorry for your loss. I watched your story on forensic files. She reminded me of my oldest daughter and I could see myself in that situation. You handled it smartly and with great tenacity. I hope you finished your forensic training/schooling. Id be very interested to know if your working in that field, I hope so. Anyway, God bless you.
Seeing your brave daughter's life and your devotion to her was inspirational. Vicky was able to create a good life and much of that would have come from your support and love. I wish you all the best, and know my thoughts are with you!
Hi Crystal I'm like your biggest fan....that episode of forensic files is my favorite...u were so smart...i love u and your family... Im devastated of her death but in elated she had a chance to live it...how are you? Did u finish college for criminal justice?
God bless you! You are the true inspiration of what a parent should be. I didn't have an accident that young but I struggled hard with asthma, never being able to fit in because I couldn't play sports and was deemed a nerd, having constant attacks and having my mom being supportive made a lot of difference but never more than recently after I finally became disabled from a motor vehicle accident I had several years ago after high school, the 3 spine surgeries that followed, and the progressive brain neurological disorder I became diagnosed with a couple years ago that mimics parkinsonionism, and left me with perm. brain damage but is caused by a genetic disease and abnormal accumulation of copper. I'm just 34. Yours and Vicky's story hit me particularly hard. If I weren't in severe chronic pain constantly and resistant to strong pain meds, my quality of life would be far easier. I have all the respect in the world for the fight you had inside you for your child, you gave her the life that she she ultimately should have had longer to enjoy but otherwise wouldn't have had and I believe she was the type of person to truly appreciate you for you for your efforts. Thank you so much for your bravery in sharing your story and coming on here to interact with us. A rare and true honor.
Just watched Forensic files...broke my heart, I'm glad to know she had some good friends....I'm also glad to know she died peacefully. Vicky rest in peace dear.
tidd bob I just saw that episode. It breaks my heart that she died so young. All because her mother's boss told her to play outside. They should kick themselves everyday.
I just saw her case on Forensic Files and it makes me so sad! I can't believe it. I'm glad that she found acceptance and had friends and also glad that she found happiness, that she found something she loved, and that she made so much progress with her condition. She's with the angels now.
Vicky Lyons was not hit by an 18 wheeler. If you want to hear her story on Forensic Files called “Treading not so Lightly” or you can find her story in line “Google” She passed away at the age of 34 from a brain aneurysm in her sleep. But befor that happened she was a wrestler. Check out her story! It’s a wonderful story told abt her accomplishments after her tragic accident at 4 yrs old RIP Vicky Lyons you hav touched many people’s hearts
She was bullied at school because of her post accident deformities, and that really affected her !!!! School environments do more damage than the truck tire ever could!!!
“School environments do more damage than a truck tire ever could” is such a truthful statement that it should be immortalized in bronze, I feel. Placed in a huge public place
Just watched this on Forensic files and thought I'd Google Vicky to see how's she doing. I was so very saddened at hearing that she had passed away. Why do all the beautiful, lovely people, have to die so young? 😢 RIP Vicky, may you rest in peace. James x
She was beautiful, this story has always touched me...I'm 24 and i just finished seeing her case for the 10th time now (they repeat the same episodes now) ive seen so many cases since i first started watching ff back in 2014. May her soul be at peace, i hope her mother is doing okay these days. ..DEC. 16 2018
How were you 'close to her' and not know the type of vehicle that ran her over? This should be removed. You sound like you're trying to be 'famous' by association. Plus, you don't sound all that choked up about your "friend's" passing.
Tim Smarr, it appears you are the one who needs to get a life. You must have too much time on you hands to respond to every single comment who questions this guy's credibility for giving the wrong information.
Tim Smarr, your mom must be so proud to have raised a very classy guy. Maybe you should spend less time commenting and insulting people, and more time learning proper English, like grammar and punctuation. And by the way English is my 2nd language. And no that's NOT figure of speech, it's the wrong information. Again, take your own advice and get a life.
I just came across this after having seen this story a few times and I had no idea of the remarkable transformation that this young lady went through before she died. I had always felt bad because of what was taken from her by the accident but seeing this made me so glad that she really did get out there like she talked about in the show. But it looked to me like she must have really made some more amazing progress after the show with maybe more surgeries or therapy so that she could do the wrestling. She looks so normal in the pictures, and beautiful. Good for her.
And this guy gets it wrong by saying an 18-wheeler hit her and sounds like he's got the cause of death wrong too. Also sounds like he's doing this interview for his own benefit and nothing else
He actually states she died in her sleep from a brain aneurysm. I guess no one listened past that comment as everyone keeps stating the same. Listen a little further.
Your a fool, how embarrassed are you, she was run over by an employee at the Harold news paper van, not an 18 wheeler. And this is sad that she had to lower her standards to this level to service. Rest in peace Vicky, so glad you got over your insecurity of being in the public, just wish society hadn't forced you into this type of publicity to get by. 💕💕
Rebecca O If wrestling made her happy and she obviously enjoyed it - why should it be something to be looked down upon? It's incredible that she found the strength to do something so physically challenging. She had a hard life and anything that brought her joy and gave her confidence is a good thing 👍🏼👍🏼 RIP to Vicky.
Just watched on Forensic Files. Correction to story...she was hit by a pick up truck at 4years old, her mom brought her to work and told her to go play in the parking lot (unpaved driveway) at the Herald Magazine. The tiny girl was sitting in a grassy parking lot when the guy driving the truck backed out real fast and drove away not realizing he hit the girl, probably would of never of expected to think a kid would be there in that very spot (based on re-enactments). Sadly she lived that way and her mom got a settlement from paper for medical treatment. I am so glad she was able to pursue some type of career she enjoyed before her passing...I looked her up wondering about where she was today 😢this was tragic, kids at that age should never be
750.000 was a misery for what happened to her GOD BLESS this little angel rip honey what a beautiful hart. She forgives and who is she to judge she said what a precious human being capable of forgiveness of such evil deed. Breaks my Hart just to think what she went through. I can't find the words to express what I'm feeling right now
My mom was actually good friends with her and I visited her often as a kid, it really is a shame she passed, I remember she used to roast the hell out of my mom haha
@@petralaskowitz9105 Sie ist aber wie du weißt als sie klein war , vom Auto überfahren worden. Danach hatte sie bis zum Schluss eine Fehlstellung im Gesicht bekommen. Therapien etc hatte sie zwar bekommen , aber es hielt nicht so lange . Woran sie genau starb weiß man nicht. Aber ich denke einige Organe haben einfach danach versagt.
I had a giant framed print of this photo (or one like it from the same session) in my stuff when Gina and I split up and nobody wanted it. I asked her "Does Vicky's dad want it?" but nobody could be bothered to claim it.
I can believe no one would want that from her friends or family ….at the top of this there is someone that claims to be her mother and im sure with a fact checking u could figure it out and if it is her im sure she would love to have it im just guessing here cuz i dont know any of them personally but
This story made me cry. That son of a bitch boss of her mom told this sweet little 4 year to go play in a freaking parking lot. Her single mom had to bring her to work because she had no one to watch her -- her fucker boss said he'd fire her if she didn't come to work. So, he tells the baby girl get outta here -- go play in moving traffic.😢
She wasn't hit by a tractor trailer,get your facts right,she got ran over by a pick up truck while playing in the parking lot at her mom's job,i was first thought that an old black guy had did it,but because of her mother doing detective work and getting tire imprints from the vehicle's that were parked in the parking lot of her job, she found out who really did it..
No, because it took like 30 years and statutes of limitations exist. Also, that was a civil matter which was already settled. Ignorance of the law is a terrible thing.
I hope you read this crystal. I don't know Vicky but she spoke to me today a few days after I watched Forensic Files. I was unaware that she passed away until now but she is in heaven and she wants you to know she loves you and she's very happy
I am Vicky's mother and she was backed over by a regular size pickup truck. I. Appreciate all your text messages it brings tears to my heart the love you all felt for. Vicky. I know she is in heaven smiling at all of every one of you. Thank you all. I appreciate every one of you and. God Bless you all. Thank you all again.All my love to all of you.

It wasn't an 18 wheeler. If he knew her and her story so well he'd know that.

Julie Carter how she die? :(
Julie Carter. get a life hater

Forensic files also brought me here :-(
Same. Sad story.

Was the injury from the accident or from wrestling?
Brain aneurysm?
Sure.
She was bullied at school because of her post accident deformities, and that really affected her !!!! School environments do more damage than the truck tire ever could!!!

It wasn't an 18 wheeler nor a van. It was a small pickup truck.

My now-ex-wife was Vicky's best friend. I saw her just weeks before she died. Nobody is telling the whole story here.
God took her home...Bless her heart.
Oh really? Do tell.
Just watched the Episode of her and it was not a 18 wheeler, it was a pickup truck.
People who make up the wrong story she was running over by 18 wheeler is was a pickup truck
little truck, like an s10 size, now i wonder if he has it right on how she passed also.
Late 70s Ford Courier, I do believe.
WOW! Someone finally got it right!!
It was a brain aneurysm

I'm just wondering about what Crystal Lyons is up to today.
Meee too... Did she become a forensic investigator? I need to know 😬😅
She passed away due to an aneurysm
@@pamelajohnson7939 Crazy. 1 year ago feels like a month ago. 2020 went by too fast. A whole year wasted.
@@pamelajohnson7939 no, crystal is the mom. She passed away too?
She wasn't hit by a tractor trailer,get your facts right,she got ran over by a pick up truck while playing in the parking lot at her mom's job,i was first thought that an old black guy had did it,but because of her mother doing detective work and getting tire imprints from the vehicle's that were parked in the parking lot of her job, she found out who really did it..
So can the driver that hit her be charged with murder because what happened caused her death??
Good question, Frank. I hope Vicky's mom looks into it.
No, because it took like 30 years and statutes of limitations exist.
Also, that was a civil matter which was already settled.
Ignorance of the law is a terrible thing.
Not to mention it would not have been a murder charge anyways. Vehicular manslaughter is more fitting.
According to what I read, he didn’t even realize he ran over her.
Forensics files
She became a wrestler. That was her worst fate !!
It wasn't an 18-wheeler, it was a train!
Not 18wheeler!!!!! And what is so funny????
