Family in Owen County Seeks Accessible Van After Daughter's Car Wreck
In August 2024, Leyla Hernandez was involved in a serious accident while driving in Owen County, resulting in her truck flipping over after swerving to avoid hitting a dog. As a result of the crash, Hernandez was impaled in the face and sustained significant injuries, including the loss of 70% of the right side of her brain. Following months of being in a coma and undergoing multiple surgeries, including facial reconstruction, she is now looking forward to regaining her independence. Hernandez expressed her desire for a handicap accessible van to help with her transportation needs as she continues her recovery process. Her father, Justin Combs, mentioned that the cost of a new van can range up to $90,000, while a used van is priced around $50,000. The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with the expenses, and Combs expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of support from the community.
