Melissa Langworth
Melissa Langworth was a 26 year old school teacher when she became the victim of a drunk driver on March 12, 1999.
On that date, Melissa's car was "t-boned" by a drunk driver who failed to stop at a red light in Whitby. Melissa was taken to Sunnybrook Hospital where she spent the next four weeks in a coma.
Her injuries included 3 broken ribs, a punctured lung, a lacerated bladder, liver, and kidney, a fractured pelvis and tail bone, and head injuries.
Melissa was hospitalized at Sunnybrook for a total of five weeks, and was then transferred to West Park Rehabilitation Hospital for four weeks, where she had to relearn to walk and talk.
She continues to receive ongoing occupational and speech therapy, and three years later, remains unable to return to teaching.
While the drunk driver was sentenced to 15 months in jail for his crime, Melissa will have to live with the affects of her injuries for the rest of her life.
