Motorcycle Accident

On Tuesday, October 28th, 2008, JoLinda was in a motorcycle accident involving 2 other vehicles. Here is a new's video about the accident.


JoLinda sustained major injuries to her head. She received a broken jaw, broken left upper eye socket, Right upper and lower eye socket, and brain trauma. She was life-flighted from Dixie Regional Medical Center to Intermountain Medical Center near Salt Lake City. They drilled into her skull to place a sensor on her brain to detect swelling. She had a breathing tube for a week, then they had to preform a trechioscopy and attach the breathing tube to her throat to avoid damage. On Thursday, November 6th, they removed the sensor from her brain because she was keeping the swelling down on her own. She has also started breathing on her own. She has facial reconstructive surgery schedueled for Tuesday, November 11th, where she will recieve plastic surgery to repair her face, and have her jaw wired shut for several weeks.
