At WPTV’s “Let’s Hear It” event in Lake Worth Beach last month, WPTV met a woman on a quest to find the person she said saved her life nearly 11 years ago.
We’re sharing her story hoping you or someone you know can help her make that reunion happen more than a decade later.
On a Wednesday evening in 2013, Cristina Terrazas-Swan was on her usual bike ride and came to the intersection of Congress and Sixth Avenue South in Lake Worth Beach.
“I pushed the button to get ready to cross,” Terrazas-Swan said. “I was on the phone and talking to a friend.”
At that moment, she lost consciousness after suffering a seizure.
WPTV“There was a man in front of me. I remember the Trauma Hawk. I remember the helicopter,” Terrazas-Swan said. “He told me to calm down. He said he was here to help. When he said that, it registered that I had had a seizure.”
Terrazas-Swan was diagnosed with epilepsy as a child, which explains her unexpected seizure.
