There is no text or Facebook post in the world that's more important than a life.
On April 9, 2011, Aimee was driving down a country road on a sunny day when a speeding car hit her head-on. The driver who caused the crash was texting at the time. Aimee, who miraculously survived the accident, was also six months pregnant with a boy. She lost the baby.
Today, Aimee has metal in every limb, a stint in her heart from when the crash's impact ripped out her aorta, and one leg amputated at the knee. And not only does the video below show Aimee's totaled car and her injuries post-accident, but it also the gut-wrenching images of her X-ray — which reveals her six-month-old unborn child.
Today, Aimee works to prevent distracted driving so that other people don't have to experience the same kind of nightmare. "There’s a reason this all happened, I think,” Aimee says. "God was definitely looking out for me. He wasn’t ready to take me yet." To this day, she drives around with a license plate on her car that reads "DNT TEXT."
During Aimee's emergency surgery, doctors also had to perform a hysterectomy; she's unable to have any more biological children. As for the woman who caused the crash? She walked away with nothing but a ticket.
