TEMPLE, TX â Kandi Wiley can still recall the day her familyâs life did a 180-degree turn in 2007. Most parents that lose a child always do.
âThe other driver was a 48-year-old female, died at the scene, and Janakae lived for four days before being declared brain dead,â said Wiley.
That other driver was drunk, nearly three times over the legal limit when she struck Janakaeâs truck racing down a Lubbock road at nearly 100 mph. Turns out, Janakae was only on the road that night because she was a designated driver for some classmates at Texas Tech University.
