Hannah Britton and her boyfriend, Broc Stoddard, were driving near Rigby, Idaho, when an approaching driver lost control of his car, drove through the median, and crashed head-on into Hannah's vehicle. Tragically, Broc died at the scene. After being rushed to a local hospital, Hannah was airlifted to �㽶��Ƶ of Utah Hospital.

Hannah's injuries were severe. A traumatic brain injury, a pelvic fracture, a fractured femur, and spinal fractures.

The list fills a page, with a total of 23 broken bones and nine life-saving surgeries in nine days.

For Hannah, the realization of her accident came in waves, through the fog of her trauma.

“I remember getting what I thought was an x-ray for my broken pelvis. And they said, ‘No, today we're going to x-ray your back in four places.’”

Hannah was treated by Derrick B. Allred, MD, brain injury medical director at Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital. She spent 22 days there, working with occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy.

Devyn Langille, Hannah’s occupational therapist, helped Hannah regain independence with everyday tasks like brushing her teeth and getting dressed.

Through it all, Hannah was in a wheelchair—she wasn’t able to use a walker until November, when her pelvis was scheduled to be set in place.
