Survivor recounts life-altering accident and its aftermath
In a recent government meeting, a participant shared a personal account of a serious accident that occurred in August 2005, highlighting the long-term impacts of traffic incidents on individuals and their families. The individual described being struck by a car while crossing a busy intersection near the Gateway Fred Meyer, resulting in multiple broken bones and a three-week hospitalization.

Following the accident, the individual spent an additional three months in a care facility, where they developed a staph infection and faced other complications. This traumatic experience not only affected their health but also had significant repercussions on their professional life, as they were unable to work for six months. The participant noted that this absence created challenges for their supportive employer and led to the postponement of their wedding by a year.

This testimony underscores the critical need for ongoing discussions about traffic safety and the broader implications of accidents on community members.
