Injured California surf instructor, 24, recuperating after losing arm in tragic incident
A Ventura surfing teacher had her arm severed in an accident with an Amtrak train but is now in recovery following a difficult surgery to reattach the limb. The incident occurred on July 7 as Elieah Boyd, a 24-year-old from Ventura, was crossing the train tracks with her electric bike near Seaward Avenue. She recalls the train approaching quickly, and in a split second, her arm was severed when the train grazed her bike. Despite this traumatic event, Boyd remained optimistic even in a wrist-to-shoulder sling, expressing relief that her arm was found and she is slowly regaining feeling in it. Boyd, determined to return to surfing, faces more surgeries ahead but looks forward to getting back on her surfboard. Friends and supporters have started a GoFundMe to help her during this challenging time.
