Bianca Trester took a break from family festivities on Father’s Day morning to go for a long run while her family walked on the beach in Ventura. Her husband Luke expected to see her when he returned to his parents’ home, so he used his cellphone to check her location. He was shocked to find her in the emergency room of the local hospital. Bianca had been struck while running in the bicycle lane on Pacific Coast Highway near the State Beach, which is frequently used by pedestrians and cyclists. Because of the speed of the car, Bianca’s injuries are significant.
“Bianca sustained a broken femur, two broken tibias, a broken jaw, broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and brain trauma,” wrote Luke in a post to friends and family. “She had a successful surgery early Monday morning to stabilize the bones in her legs, but she’s going to need multiple surgeries this week to permanently fix her legs and jaw.”
We spoke to Luke today, who told us, “Bianca had an 8-hour surgery on Wednesday, June 18, to repair the bones in her legs and jaw. She spent Thursday under sedation in the ICU, but they’ve had to ease that back due to respiratory issues. We’re managing her pain now as best we can. Her memory is beginning to return, and she’s still the strong, fierce woman we all love.”…
