“Just young and stupid” is how Corrine Cameron described herself when, two years ago, she stepped into a friend’s vehicle after a party in Pictou County, N.S., and didn’t put on a seatbelt.
It was late at night and the car was speeding, she says, when it crashed — ejecting her and her friends.
Cameron was thrown from the vehicle and landed on a driveway. A man came running out after hearing the accident.
“He saw me and he thought I was dead, but I was speaking and talking, and I said, ‘Sir, will you please hold my hand?’ And he did.”
En route to the hospital in the ambulance, Cameron suffered a stroke. Doctors later told her she had broken her pelvis, clavicle and tailbone in addition to the stroke that permanently affected the left side of her brain.
