Press Release – New Zealand Police
Elizabeth Lind was left fighting for her life after being hit by a fatigued driver while out walking her dogs near her home in Auckland.
Left with a severe brain injury and bones doctors described as being broken so badly they resembled rubble, Elizabeth was lucky to survive.
The 65-year-old spent over two weeks in critical care in hospital, and over three months in rehabilitation learning how to walk and talk again.
Now – after a three-year recovery – Elizabeth is sharing her story in a bid to make people realise the consequences of driving tired.
Ultimately, she says she wants to prevent others from going through what she’s been through.
