I don't understand why a HUGE part of the story was left out! Her friend that was in the car with her died.. Why wouldnt you atleast mention your friend???
Just show some compassion and comprehension , maybe it really hurts her to talk about it (normal lol ) that's why she didn't mentioned her friend. Words are powerful and by using "passenger" maybe she avoid thinking too much about it. On top of that it wasn't abt her dead friend but really about her hobby and how she manages to pursue her passion after this ... Just let her it's her intimacy and private life. Let her deal with it in her own way, she is not forgetting her friend by not mentioning what happened ...
***** who told you she had forgotten her friend ?! Y'all are so judgemental I've never seen that ! The interview is about her passion not about the details of the accident ! Go read some psychanalitic book or philosophy about memory , you'll see its so much more than you think. It's not because I talk about useless things that I have forgotten my cousin who died in a car accident and iam not denying her when iam not talking about her. If you want sensationalism and drama go read some shitty people magazine. Have a nice day
A disabled life is still a life worth living. Please like if you agree. EDIT - I honestly did not expect my comment to get this many likes, but I'm so glad it has. I hope that someday everyone will be accommodating and accepting and compassionate towards disabled people, regardless of the disability. We are not tragedies or burdens, we are people who live life differently than most.
Not always. I am disabled, with chronic pain, When you are in pain everyday and cant even sit up in bed, is my life even worth living?? I sometimes wonder.
+Seasonoftheheartx X Yes it is! You have a purpose! Jesus loves you, and you are going to open the door for so many. Turn to Jesus, and he will help you. He will lead you to all answers, and fullfill you. He will fill your spirit with such joy, and you will praise, and give glory to his name. Your life is worth living! please don't give up Jesus is the bread of life that gave his life for you, because he loves you, and wants you to come to him. "Come to me all who are weary, and burdened, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28
Wow! People are so judgemental. About 15 years ago my brother and my husband were in the car driving from lunch back to work and my brother dozed off for a couple of seconds while driving and ended up having an accident, everyone was ok, but he was definitely not drunk. So no its not always from drinking. I dont drink and hate when people drive and drink, but you should Get your facts before you comment that someone was drinking just cause they dozed off.
My husband fell asleep behind me (following me home) , his car swerved across traffic, missing every car, went airborne & knocked down an electric pole which smashed a parked car as he stopped right before going in a house. His new car was totaled, but he was asleep the whole time/did not get one scratch. I thank god every day for keeping him here. So happy this girl also had that chance ❤
Same thing happened with my mom. She dozed off for 3 seconds on her way home and when she opened her eyes her car was upside down and on top of another car. She was 3 houses down from our home too. Her car and the neighbors car was totaled, but fortunately she was able to walk away without any major injuries except back pain. And our neighbors were nice enough to not take up any legal action against her. It's not always alcohol.
My Mom fell asleep on an off-ramp from the highway. Took a stop sign out and went down over a steep embankment. She walked away as well with a concussion and some muscle injuries. I think had she not been driving my Dad’s big 4X4 truck she wouldn’t be here today. 🙏🏻
It's happened to me. Didn't think I was that tired and before I knew it, I scraped the barricade doing 100km/hr on the highway. Never saw it coming. I just slowly dozed off. and I'm so thankful that we were able to walk away from it. I've learnt my lesson. At the first signs of fatigue in Australia we say STOP, REVIVE, SURVIVE. ❤
There was likely some alcohol involved. You don't go to Vegas to celebrate a 21st birthday to stay sober. That's just ridiculous. Even if it wasn't Stephanie it could have been the friend that overcorrected the wheel.
she is beautiful on the inside and out. and she has so much strength!! she turned a life changing event into an opportunity to live more than she ever has. amazing! 💛💛💛
Six years ago my mom was in a motorcycle accident they told her she would be a quadriplegic and that should be paralyzed from the neck down she started going to a rehab facilitation and one day she told me that she had a dream she could walk again my grandma came over to help us out and make breakfast and she said mom watch this she stood up and she started walking The doctors told her she would never be able to walk again but she prove them wrong I’m so proud of her and I love her so much It obviously took time Her to get better at walking and she still has kind of a limp with her walk but she can fully walk again
There's a girl in the UK who was in a car accident as well, she also doesn't make up blogs! These woman are an inspiration and by not giving up can show others not to give up too!
Mary ! No, she was not. If she was drunk driving, she would have said, drunk driving. there's a difference between dozing off and drunk driving. watch the video.
R.I.P to her friend. If she was not really pretty. She wouldn't be on The Doctors or have a huge platform on social media. Anyway she is still alive so she's making the best out of her situation.
I can relate so hard to her statement about being happier and more content with herself after what happened to her. I was very dramatically put into a medicial indused coma two years ago, after I was diagnosed with kidney failure and my numbers were so bad that I was very close to dying. Now two years laters, after ten months of dialysis and one kidney transplant, i can honestly say i'm happy that those things happened to me, because I am so much happier and content with myself now that I have ever been.
Isn't this the same girl that got a break from rehab for the holidays and was in a SECOND CAR CRASH?? I feel like I read/saw her somewhere else and she was like yup at that point I thought the ground wanted me more than the world did.
Kayies M im assuming the passenger was unharmed. So what do you mean you were with her until that. She brought it on herself so you dont care anymore halfway thru?
No, the city of Barstow sued and had a lawsuit against her. Was proven that she was not under the influence of drug or alcohol...just FYI. City of Barstow lost the case
she basically blamed her now deceased passenger for causing the accident..."my passenger grabbed the wheel.. we then flew off the overpass" interesting.
I can't believe how nasty and judgmental some of these comments are... It is very possible to doze off behind the wheel without alcohol being involved - she was probably lacking sleep from being out late and knew her friends depended on her driving, so she made a bad call which will haunt her for the rest of her life. No regular person deserves to be partially or entirely paralyzed, and I am sure she is struggling to get through every day and is suffering far more than what this short video with "up-beat music" is portraying. Show some compassion and stop wasting your time with hate 😊
Guys, people can doze off like that. It doesn’t necessarily mean she was drinking and driving, in I’ve known some people who have dozed off while driving and almost gotten in car accidents if it wasn’t for someone with them that was in the car. And she probably didn’t mention her friend because it was either too hard for her to bring up those memories, or they could’ve her certain questions that didn’t require her telling them that
What an absolute role model for people who have it NOT any way as bad but have given up, i love this girl her courage her strength and attitude is 2nd to none. You go girl. xoxox
She killed her friend but didn't mention anything about it. She wants people to feel pity only for her, so selfish. People we need to feel sorry for is the dead girl's family..
Jenni Martikainen honestly this is tv. Things get cut, edited, and not to mention they tell you what to say. I'm sure she mentioned her friend and it got cut; because thats just how the business works. And if she didn't mention her friend its probably because its painful to talk about how you were at fault for a loved ones death.
Don’t call someone out for being “pity, or selfish” at least you aren’t her unlike you would’ve been struggling and unstable. Don’t blame someone who you don’t know the full story of. If you and your bff were in a car accident I bet you’d be glad your alive, and your bff could be watching you from the skies. And don’t say she killed her friend and it was accidents.
at first i felt really bad for her but after finding out she fell asleep whilst driving and killed her friend i honestly have no sympathy for her especially because of the fact that she didn't even mention that her friend died like wtf how self centered can you be?! her friend's family should've sued her. (EDIT: found out she was tired and NOT drunk but still doesn't change the fact that she drove irresponsibly) (EDIT NO.2: OMG GUYS 353 LIKES??! lol that's the most I've ever got on a UA-cam video!!)
Syeda read articles online child ...she was proven in court to not be drunk/drug out ..since someone died that first thing they check ...😯 man its not that hard ppl look into things instead of jumping the gun
okay, if she was tired why the hell was she driving to begin with? how irresponsible can someone get? she should've stopped to take a nap. driving when you know you're tired is just as bad as driving drunk.
Syeda I know people who've gotten arrested for sleeping in their car because they were too tired to drive. I'm sure that kind of law is not in place everywhere but still, it's important to note, I think.
I met Steph at the 2018 Abilities Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center, she was doing demos in the Permobil SmartDrive booth (Yes Permobil, which owns TiLite Wheelchair, recently bought Max Mobility). She is truly a great example to those of us who now find ourselves in a wheelchair. She is not only Beautiful, but also energetic, well-spoken, intelligent, kind and inspiring, in a word, she in Enchanting! WOW!!
I know people are going to judge what I'm saying but she shouldn't have been driving in that situation. She doesn't sound like she feels badly about what happened, and finally, as a nurse, watching her seems that she can do more than she's acting/showing.
The "passenger" she referred to was in the front seat and was not seriously injured. Her friend who was killed was sleeping in the back seat and was not wearing a seatbelt.
You are Soo beautiful! You are an inspiration to everyone you touch! I LOVE your positive attitude, and am glad to see how it rubs off on everyone around you! Bless you!
"Went to a 21st bday party & while driving back dozed off behind the wheel." hmmm She totally wasn't drinking & driving. nope. Instead of playing the victim card, why doesn't she bring awareness to drinking & driving? Help save lives, instead of influencing people to be shallow af.
Allison girl..do you know how many people have fallen asleep behind the wheel? and it wasn't because of they were drinking they were just tired. it happens all the time fam
Allison omg still comment is so nasty. I myself have dozed off before. ALSO maybe she doesnt drink? Maybe she was out late? Maybe the awareness shes bringing has nothing to do with drinking and youre the alcoholic. Fyi as someone whos had a serious injury being awareness to getting your life back after a tragedy IS bringing awareness. A persons self confidence can go all the way down the toliet after a mishap like this.
Day Harris isnt it interesting how this nasty person just assumed that this girl is a drinker and the only way to wreck a car is to be behind the wheel intoxicated.
U guys forget that she was in vegas partying so drunk driving was more possible than just dozed off behind the wheels. Or maybe drunk and sleepy. If she is just sleepy, she is still in her right mind to stay in a hotel and sleep.
She is obviously distraught. She looked so dull when she was talking about the incident. She obviously said “the passenger” because she is still hung up over the incident and probably didn’t want to talk about it.
Instead of motivating this brave girl u all have to bring her down. These comments are disgusting. How dare u act like u were with her during the accident. How dare u accuse her of MURDER without knowing shit. Innocent until proven guilty, which is exactly why she does not deserve to be the subject of your criticism. Your using your fucking fingers (a blessing that she no longer has) to place blame onto this girl. Like being paralysed isn't bad enough people have to always other people down no matter what
I am amazed at how many self righteous people comment as if they have never had an accident. This is a tv show that gives a short time limit on what you can say. You don't get to tell the whole story....you tell the part that they want you to tell. Who says she isn't or won't ever be an advocate against drunk driving (if that was the case). ...The show focused on how she found a way to get through each day. She may very well have days where she is guilt ridden. Am I the only one who has an ounce of compassion that viewed this video?
too many young people ruin the lives of others and themselves by driving recklessly, don't judge me for pointing it out because when I was a young driver I did everything to insure I was responsible because you never know who else is in the cars around you as as much as I want to keep myself safe others matter too
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ if you and your friends are at a party, and you are drunk, tipsy, or tired, PLEASE don’t drive. Call an uber, a taxi, or even drive with a friend who is sober. It’s not worth your life to drive home. 💓 and no, i’m not assuming she was drunk or tipsy or anything, it was just the scenario she was in that made her seem like she was drinking
Most annoying. Another one who brought it onto herself by drinking and driving and killed her friend and now is she's celebrated for being some makeup queen? No one should even give her the time of day, let alone all this attention.
She's so beautiful!! Def going to subscribe to her channel! I'm turning 21 in august and literally today I started planning for my birthday weekend I'm having in Las Vegas, and my sister, cousin, best friend, and I are going to drive down there from Sacramento!
she killed someone that night. are you serious? the worst things happen to people who are stupid and decide to drive after clubbing all night. bless the family of her dead friend
A friend of my father who has his lower body paralized sometimes cross his legs moving them with his arms (he put one onto the other, I don't know how to explain it)
Last year when we had to make a long car drive we almost had an accident that could hurt us really bad or even kill us. My mom who was in the passenger seat fell asleep and when she woke up she saw my dad had fallen asleep (he was driving) and she woke him up just in time. Apparently we were seconds away from crashing into a truck.. this video made me realise how thankful we should me
I do find it odd she did not mention her friend that died but it's amazing that she's alive and doing so well. My bf nearly died in a wreck as he was exhausted and fell asleep . If you are sleepy and exhausted please do not drive .
Congratulations! Honestly she has the strength to do this and she followed her dreams and I can’t even grab a strong grip on a pencil (not trying to offend anyone, stay strong girl)
I don't see why people are praising her. SHE got behind the wheels knowing she was tired. SHE didn't do anything about it. Yes, gladly she survived but it's still her fault. If you get behind the wheels sleepy, what do you expect? She could have easily pulled over but no she continued driving. Sad that she now goes through this but this could have easily been avoided
_sevvy_ Bih Actually the passenger survived the person in the back died because they did not wear a seatbelt lol yes its her fault but so was the person that died because they didnt wear a seatbelt
I don't understand people who drive when they are that tired. My family really raised me to acknowledge if I was at risk driving. If my sister or I were too tired to drive someone would come get us even if its a few hours away or we'd get a hotel to rest. It's ridiculous to not realize you're tired and tempted to doze. Sleepy driving is almost as bad as drunk driving, reaction time is severely hampered.
I don't understand why a HUGE part of the story was left out! Her friend that was in the car with her died.. Why wouldnt you atleast mention your friend???
Katy Baby i agree it's horrific her friend lost her life and she just referred to her as the passenger
cuz life is harder, just dont fucking judge
Katy Baby because she "over corrected the car" lol
Just show some compassion and comprehension , maybe it really hurts her to talk about it (normal lol ) that's why she didn't mentioned her friend.

It's not because I talk about useless things that I have forgotten my cousin who died in a car accident and iam not denying her when iam not talking about her.

She said that, not what. LOL
Driving while extremely tired or sleepy is just as bad or even worse driving impaired with alcohol.
Wow! People are so judgemental.

ema r if he was tired why didn't he have ur husband drive?
Cristina Parada - that is so rude, this is not the time to point fingers. accidents happen and the important thing is nobody was hurt.
Ivana K no body was pointing fingers I just asked a simple question .
ema r Well said Ema.
I think that they said that cause she said she was at Las Vegas at her friends party
My husband fell asleep behind me (following me home) , his car swerved across traffic, missing every car, went airborne & knocked down an electric pole which smashed a parked car as he stopped right before going in a house. His new car was totaled, but he was asleep the whole time/did not get one scratch. I thank god every day for keeping him here. So happy this girl also had that chance ❤

I wonder if there was alcohol involved in the accident. Either way, I'm glad she is doing well.
www.dailybulletin.com/article/zz/20110101/NEWS/110108824
No alcohol. She was 20. Her friend died --- which is not mentioned.
I know her personally and NO there was no alcohol involved. NO !
There was likely some alcohol involved. You don't go to Vegas to celebrate a 21st birthday to stay sober. That's just ridiculous. Even if it wasn't Stephanie it could have been the friend that overcorrected the wheel.
Je t'aime its called being the bob. Not everybody is a fool.
Je t'aime no their wasn't alcohol she was tired and feel asleep. She was in Vegas for my brothers birthday
So happy that she was able to overcome such an obstacle and not let it defeat her. That takes a lot of resilience. She's such a beautiful spirit
God bless her. What a positive attitude and beautiful girl, inside and out.
when shit happens to you
u cant ignore it .. so they accept it after the 4 stages
Not everyone accepts it, that's why some people try to commit suicide
Tmslogig She didnt kill anyone that person was not wearing a seatbelt which lead to their death and she wasnt under the influence
Positive attitude is what keeps u living
she is beautiful on the inside and out. and she has so much strength!! she turned a life changing event into an opportunity to live more than she ever has. amazing! 💛💛💛

Jordan Boone! Love her!
Cerdd_Wen how in the hell is she an inspiration if she was drunk driving and because of that the passenger died.
+Lizbeth Lopez she wasn't drunk driving.
Mary ! No, she was not. If she was drunk driving, she would have said, drunk driving. there's a difference between dozing off and drunk driving. watch the video.
She was going to Vegas for my brothers birthday. It was a tough day :/ glad she's okay. RIP to Kat that passed away in the same accident 💗

she still does makeup better than I do! Love the makeup!
Isn't this the same girl that got a break from rehab for the holidays and was in a SECOND CAR CRASH?? I feel like I read/saw her somewhere else and she was like yup at that point I thought the ground wanted me more than the world did.
Good for her ^ ^ She was able to find courage and a drive
"I dosed (0:29) off. Behind the wheel". Was w/ her until, she caused it. So did the passenger or family sue?. (17
Kayies M im assuming the passenger was unharmed. So what do you mean you were with her until that. She brought it on herself so you dont care anymore halfway thru?
Yeez(1:55) us. 3 passengers, one died. I was thinking a drunk driver or at least a med issue. Not really!
No, the city of Barstow sued and had a lawsuit against her. Was proven that she was not under the influence of drug or alcohol...just FYI. City of Barstow lost the case
Lmao dumb ass idiot
The passenger died.
Beautiful girl, how strong is she!
she basically blamed her now deceased passenger for causing the accident..."my passenger grabbed the wheel.. we then flew off the overpass" interesting.
What a great, resilient, beautiful young lady she is. Great spirit!
Very positive and uplifting young lady. She survived for a reason...glad she is LIVING!✌✌✌
If you know you're too tired to drive, why drive, it's common sense.

It is very possible to doze off behind the wheel without alcohol being involved - she was probably lacking sleep from being out late and knew her friends depended on her driving, so she made a bad call which will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Jenni Martikainen stfu. The video was about her and not her friend. You don't know how she feels- she probably feels guilty for it each and every day!
Jenni Martikainen as if you've never done anything by accident
Don’t call someone out for being “pity, or selfish” at least you aren’t her unlike you would’ve been struggling and unstable. Don’t blame someone who you don’t know the full story of. If you and your bff were in a car accident I bet you’d be glad your alive, and your bff could be watching you from the skies. And don’t say she killed her friend and it was accidents.
You watched two minutes of the show... It's possible she did mention her friend and you just didn't see it.
She is so beautiful,and kind
Can't use her hand but still yet does makeup waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than me. This queen is awesome
at first i felt really bad for her but after finding out she fell asleep whilst driving and killed her friend i honestly have no sympathy for her especially because of the fact that she didn't even mention that her friend died like wtf how self centered can you be?! her friend's family should've sued her.

Syeda get your facts straight, Dumbass. She wasn't drunk driving. She fell asleep on the wheel.
okay, if she was tired why the hell was she driving to begin with? how irresponsible can someone get? she should've stopped to take a nap. driving when you know you're tired is just as bad as driving drunk.
Even if she was not intoxicated she was still too tired to drive.
Syeda I know people who've gotten arrested for sleeping in their car because they were too tired to drive. I'm sure that kind of law is not in place everywhere but still, it's important to note, I think.
How does she do that?! I have perfectly functioning limbs and my makeup skills are nowhere hear that

exactly! considering that the passanger was actually her friend. and that friend died that night..
The "passenger" she referred to was in the front seat and was not seriously injured. Her friend who was killed was sleeping in the back seat and was not wearing a seatbelt.
She has a purpose, she has found the physical and mental strength to live. I have great respect for her determination to deal with her new reality.
Videos like these make me not take my life for granted!
I HATE to see people hurting or people in pain or impaired (physically challenged) it really hurts my ❤ SO glad she made it out and found joy again
You are Soo beautiful! You are an inspiration to everyone you touch! I LOVE your positive attitude, and am glad to see how it rubs off on everyone around you! Bless you!

That's right if she's too tired to drive she shouldn't have tried to drive in the middle of the night.
As a UA-camr I know how hard it is to do UA-cam. I love this woman!
She made realize that the little things I complain about is childish 😩 she's such a positive & beautiful person . God bless her heart ❤️
I am well and fit and I look like a mess when I try makeup.
This woman is a godess.
She is obviously distraught. She looked so dull when she was talking about the incident. She obviously said “the passenger” because she is still hung up over the incident and probably didn’t want to talk about it.
This is so beautiful, how she has these hard times and can't do certain things that she she still comes out strong 😍😍😍
Instead of motivating this brave girl u all have to bring her down. These comments are disgusting. How dare u act like u were with her during the accident. How dare u accuse her of MURDER without knowing shit. Innocent until proven guilty, which is exactly why she does not deserve to be the subject of your criticism. Your using your fucking fingers (a blessing that she no longer has) to place blame onto this girl. Like being paralysed isn't bad enough people have to always other people down no matter what
And people wonder why I'm terrified of driving...
I'm amazed at what you've regained, and know it doesn't come easy. Never give up! ❣
this is absolutely beautiful
She knows what determination is
Wow that is amazing
She's a great roll model
Don't let extremely tough things stop you from doing what you love
That’s incredible. God bless her
Beautiful
I am so proud of her! She is so beautiful!
I can't even do my makeup like that with fingers. Bravo!
I am amazed at how many self righteous people comment as if they have never had an accident. This is a tv show that gives a short time limit on what you can say. You don't get to tell the whole story....you tell the part that they want you to tell. Who says she isn't or won't ever be an advocate against drunk driving (if that was the case). ...The show focused on how she found a way to get through each day. She may very well have days where she is guilt ridden. Am I the only one who has an ounce of compassion that viewed this video?
❤ u took something so bad and turned it into inspiration for others! thank u. u are an amazing person 😊
I'm so proud of you I'm also quadriplegic but I've got Cerebral Palsy I've been in a wheelchair my entire life x
too many young people ruin the lives of others and themselves by driving recklessly, don't judge me for pointing it out because when I was a young driver I did everything to insure I was responsible because you never know who else is in the cars around you as as much as I want to keep myself safe others matter too
Dozed off = drunk driving? Sorry but sympathy esp since she took a life....
Immense respect for this woman.
Omg how does her makeup look so good and she can't even use her hands! Amazing.
Wow. She is amazing. She can do her makeup way better that I ever can!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ
if you and your friends are at a party, and you are drunk, tipsy, or tired, PLEASE don’t drive. Call an uber, a taxi, or even drive with a friend who is sober. It’s not worth your life to drive home. 💓
and no, i’m not assuming she was drunk or tipsy or anything, it was just the scenario she was in that made her seem like she was drinking
Just because she's disabled, that doesn't mean she can't do something she loves. 💘
Most annoying. Another one who brought it onto herself by drinking and driving and killed her friend and now is she's celebrated for being some makeup queen? No one should even give her the time of day, let alone all this attention.
what a beautiful girl! shes so strong
Whoever hated this are sad asf!😡😡😷😷😷
Amazing! Be strong and don't give up!
😢. Stay beautiful and strong girl❤️
She does her makeup better than me and I have full use of my limbs. She's beautiful inside and out.
She's so beautiful!! Def going to subscribe to her channel! I'm turning 21 in august and literally today I started planning for my birthday weekend I'm having in Las Vegas, and my sister, cousin, best friend, and I are going to drive down there from Sacramento!
She is beautiful 😊
She's gorgeous omg bless her
The worst things always happen to the best people. Bless her 💓, you go momma! Keep that beautiful head held high!
Heather Laurenvil Best people? So somehow shes a saint because she's disabled?
she killed someone that night. are you serious? the worst things happen to people who are stupid and decide to drive after clubbing all night. bless the family of her dead friend
Wow! Incredible story 😍
I am so proud you.hugs
HOW DID SHE CROSS HER LEGS THO
faloopsinarb she can still move her body people.
faloopsinarb um she got thereapy can you not see that she is able to move her arms you idiot lmao!
faloopsinarb so she can obviously cross her legs somehow....dont see how my comment shows im retarded 😂
A friend of my father who has his lower body paralized sometimes cross his legs moving them with his arms (he put one onto the other, I don't know how to explain it)
she can still nice just not very well, watch the whole vid🙄
Omg wtf I thought that was Madison beer and I almost had a heart attack
Last year when we had to make a long car drive we almost had an accident that could hurt us really bad or even kill us. My mom who was in the passenger seat fell asleep and when she woke up she saw my dad had fallen asleep (he was driving) and she woke him up just in time. Apparently we were seconds away from crashing into a truck.. this video made me realise how thankful we should me
Poor girl. I hope she can walk again.
She's a great inspiration! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing young lady!
no jail time ???? she killed her friend....
lilchiipmunk I think her impairment is punishment enough
lilchiipmunk it wasnt her fault shut up🙄🙄
Dee TA wtf
Dee TA wtf eww. Dude no.👎🏻
Dee TA She’d probably want to be hit by a car again before she’d ever want to touch you.
GOD BLESS HER!
I do find it odd she did not mention her friend that died but it's amazing that she's alive and doing so well. My bf nearly died in a wreck as he was exhausted and fell asleep . If you are sleepy and exhausted please do not drive .
She is an inspiration!
Congratulations! Honestly she has the strength to do this and she followed her dreams and I can’t even grab a strong grip on a pencil
(not trying to offend anyone, stay strong girl)
God Bless you beauty ! Wish you lot of improvements ! Take care sweetheart
What makes her so special this happens all the time
I don't see why people are praising her. SHE got behind the wheels knowing she was tired. SHE didn't do anything about it. Yes, gladly she survived but it's still her fault. If you get behind the wheels sleepy, what do you expect? She could have easily pulled over but no she continued driving. Sad that she now goes through this but this could have easily been avoided
Balloons yes but she also killed her friend in the passenger side and don’t mention it
_sevvy_ Bih Actually the passenger survived the person in the back died because they did not wear a seatbelt lol yes its her fault but so was the person that died because they didnt wear a seatbelt
Humbleness makes any girl attractive
I don't understand people who drive when they are that tired. My family really raised me to acknowledge if I was at risk driving. If my sister or I were too tired to drive someone would come get us even if its a few hours away or we'd get a hotel to rest. It's ridiculous to not realize you're tired and tempted to doze. Sleepy driving is almost as bad as drunk driving, reaction time is severely hampered.
Wow she’s an inspiration
so, SHE fell asleep at the wheel & then tried to blame her passenger for grabbing the wheel? More needs to be looked into this.
