The community welcomes the young survivor after almost fatal crash

Whitfield County, Ga. (WDEF) – It is a return of four months in production – and one of which would be feared would never happen.

On January 12, 2024, a young girl named Khloie was seriously injured in a weather -related car accident in Whitfield County. The streets were smooth of snow and ice, and her vehicle slipped off the street and ended in a devastating wreck.

First aiders quickly realized how serious the accident was in Lifeforce.

Khloie was flown from the crash location to the children's hospital in Erlangen and then brought again by Lifeforce to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, where it would stay in critical care for weeks.

Their injuries were extensive.

The doctors carried out an emergency operation to stabilize them, and for a while it seemed as if it had hung in balance every day.

“They would say they would do it and the next day she won't make it,” said her mother McKenzie Moss. “She had a serious brain injury … and a tree line went through her neck.”

Despite the chances, Khloie continued to fight.

Now, four months later, she is at home – if only.

She spends a week in her hometown before returning to Atlanta for continued rehabilitation.

For Khloie, it is a chance to be with friends in the last week of school and enjoy a little normality before the summer break.

In order to mark their return, the very first respons that save their lives organized a surprising welcome home convoy.

Whitfield County Fire Stations 1, 2 and 10, Hamilton Ems, and members of the Lifeforce Crew came together to give Khloie the emotional reunion that she had never experienced that day.

Scotty Tate, a lieutenant of the Whitfield County fire brigade, thought about what the moment meant for her.

“To be able to keep up with her story, know how badly she was wounded and how much she was. We all thought, she would probably not make it,” he said. “But she continued to fight. She overcome every obstacle. She had to live the will. And I think that this means that this means so much for us – to bring her history out there.”

Khloie's fight is far from over.

She is currently using sign language and auxiliary technology to communicate.

But their beliefs and their spirit remain strong.

“He said it wasn't my time and then sent me back,” said Khloie, referring to a deeply personal moment she experienced in the operation. “God is good.”

Her mother, McKenzie, was overwhelming for the responte and medical staff who fought for her daughter's life.

“Many thanks to all first aiders who saved my daughter … I am so grateful that they answered the call.”

The family started a Gofundme campaign to help with Khloie's long way to help.

Your care, recovery and therapy will be extensive.

But for now, her return is a moment of joy – a memory of resilience, hope and the power of a community that a girl she hardly knew, but now it will never forget.

“She is a miracle,” says her family.

And today this miracle came home.
