Family and friends of 18-year-old Lindsey Brown are clinging to good news this afternoon.
“Got a good report from CT scan,” Brown’s mother, Alice Roland Brewer, told close family friend Beth Chapman early Tuesday morning, Oct. 21. “The neurologist said the results were “OK,” meaning no worse, and that is a good thing.”
Brown suffered critical injuries in single-vehicle wreck in Hall County monday morning. Brown, a senior at Habersham Central High School, was driving north on State Route 365 toward Habersham County when her vehicle, a red Toyota pickup truck, drifted onto the right shoulder of the road, traveled back across both northbound lanes and into the median before overturning multiple times across both southbound lanes of the highway and landing in a ditch.
Brown was transported by ambulance to Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) where she is undergoing tests and treatment for head injuries suffered in the wreck.
“They will do another scan tomorrow to continue to check brain swelling and bleeding, but it is looking like she is headed in the right direction,” Brown’s mother said early Tuesday morning after consulting with doctors. Chest x-rays have been taken to check the status of a pulmonary contusion, but no results have been reported yet, Brewer added, calling her daughter a “fighter” and voicing appreciation for the support and prayers that have been expressed for Brown and her family.
Friends and fellow students at HCHS, who met in the pre-dawn hours this morning to paint messages of hope on ‘The Rock’ at the high school’s Mt. Airy campus, will meet at “the rock” again this afternoon at 3:20 p.m (Tuesday, Oct. 21) to offer prayer up prayers and support for Brown and her family. The public is welcome.
