Amy Milligan 15, was flown to Carolinas Medical Center and placed in the pediatric ICU department in a coma.
Her mother, Fran Milligan, was driving the car that was hit.
"How many years will it be that we'll be affected? What will the rest of her life be like? It will be nothing like what she imagined," she said.
Police said 21-year-old Marin Gomez was driving drunk when the accident happened in Richmond County. They also think he's in the country illegally and immigration agents are investigating.
"Right now, everything is running all together for me," said Fran Milligan.
Amy was trapped in the car for 40 minutes. She's suffered multiple injuries including two collapsed lungs, and broken ribs, and has been through two strokes.
"We're not going to have the same Amy," said Fran Milligan.
Amy's aunt, Lorri Oxenbine, can't believe one man's actions have changed so many lives.
"Anger that he's ruined Amy's life, her future, ruined my sister's life and her future, completely changed it. And that he's also ruined his own," she said.
Police said Gomez ran from the scene, but was later caught.
Authorities have charged him with felony hit-and-run, two counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, driving while impaired, no license, having a fake tag, and careless and reckless driving.
Congresswoman Sue Myrick is holding a town hall meeting Tuesday night as part of her effort to toughen laws against illegal immigrants.
Myrick is proposing new legislation called the Scott Gardner Act. Gardner was a Mount Holly schoolteacher killed when an illegal immigrant hit the car carrying him and his family.
The immigrant had five prior DWI convictions.
Myrick said he should have been deported.
The meeting is at 7 p.m. inside Myrick's office on West Main Street in Gastonia.
The first dem that comes out with a 'shoot to kill' order on the border has my vote.
they should handle illegal alien dwi's the way they handle dwi's in many of the illegal alien's home nations.. El Salvador, for example, your first DWI is your LAST--they have you EXECUTED BY A FIRING SQUAD!
From the story...
...Myrick is proposing new legislation called the Scott Gardner Act. Gardner was a Mount Holly schoolteacher killed when an illegal immigrant hit the car carrying him and his family.
The immigrant had five prior DWI convictions.
It doesn't help her, but the reference is to another man.
It IS OUR fault! We elect these jerks, who spend our money on pet projects, and foreign payoffs, then refuse to keep us truly safe. They take away our pocket knives before we can fly, but they will let a nuclear device, or some horrible bacteria, come across an unprotected borderline, to wreak more havoc on our soil...
What can be done to take our country back? All they seem to want to do is take away liberty, and spend our money...
My friend lost his 12 year old to an illegal delivering chinese take-out. She was in a cross walk.
I'm sick of this.
PING!
I dare you to bring your views to this thread.
What puke f*ck advisor of Bush's came up with that one?
I don't know, but he likes it.
I've heard him use it numerous times.
Unfortunately neither do our tax dollars. Perhaps George should consider having his second presidential library built in Mexico City.
I wish I could say what I really feel right now. But I wouldn't be posting here any longer.
She would have my support.
She would have mine also. My sincerest prayers for Amy and her family.
Bush COULD have kicked serious arse on the illegal alien nightmare and gone down as a great President who saved America from going third world ...Now he will go down as a third rate Papa's boy of privlege who didn't have the RIGHT stuff !
"Myrick said he should have been deported."
Unfortunately deporting does not work because most of them reenter our country illegally. Give them long prison sentences and deduct the cost of incarceration from aid we give to the illegal's country of origin.
Prayers for the young lady and family.
"How much longer are we going to put up with this?"
The ONLY way to avert this catastrophic illegal alien train wreck that is heading across America is to vote for Tancredo or the Constitution party.
BTTT!
Yeah... same ol' lame excuse... isn't it funny though, that when there was NO WELFARE or FREE MEDICAL, there were plenty of people to do the jobs... interesting....
