There are automobile bumps and bruises and then there are cataclysmic car crashes. Unfortunately for Miami resident David Brown, he found himself stuck with the latter.

While driving to work for his new job as an electrician assistant, Brown’s 2012 Honda CR-V was T-boned at the intersection of Southwest 88th Street and Southwest 117th Avenue around 5:30 a.m. on Feb. 25, 2015. Upon being struck, Brown’s car began to spin before eventually giving way to a roll. After being picked up and transported to Kendall Regional Hospital, Brown’s situation only worsened. Having suffered a traumatic brain injury and with his blood pressure rising, he was placed into a medically induced coma to ease his breathing. He also endured a stroke, and required a tracheotomy, which led to more medical complications.
