The family of the young woman, who was critically injured in May 1, shared an update to her condition on May 1st on the Highway 154 when you try to collect $ 100,000 in order to cover her growing medical expenses.

The 24-year-old Carly Grace Howard drove to work this Thursday at 6:50 a.m., according to a gofundme donation campaign set up by her family, as another woman, who was identified by California Highway Patrol (CHP) as 28-year-old Katelyn Fultz, had driven her truck over double yellow lines and crashed with Howard's limousine. Howard had to be pronounced from her car and was taken to the hospital, where it was found that she had suffered a traumatic brain injury and several broken bones and breaks, her family wrote.

Fultz, who was also treated in the hospital because of her own injuries, was arrested on the same day and booked in the district prison on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol in the district prison. It is recorded in the district prison for 250,000 US dollars (after its previous deposit of $ 130,000).

Another non -identified victim suffered serious injuries in the crash, said Chp.

After Howard had been hospitalized, she was operated on to reduce the swelling of her brain, her family said, and she remains life support.

“It is still much unknown, including the upcoming journey, whatever that may be,” wrote the family on her Gofundme page. “This is a very serious injury, and there is still a certain cloud of uncertainty in its prognosis.

In an update on Sunday, the family announced that an MRI found last Friday that Howard's “injuries were worse than we had hoped” and that they had also found out: “The other driver was an un insured driver with little or no property.”

Within the first six days after the start of the Gofundme, the family collected 28,628 US dollars of $ 100,000. The family thanked the community for their previous support.

“Thank you for your prayers and donations,” wrote the family. “It means more than you could know. Our daughter, little sister, aunt, joy and miracle. Our Carly.”
