HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Monica Minor reached out to CBS 6 advocating for changes at a Henrico intersection where she was hurt in a serious car crash.
“They had to cut me out of my car and transfer me on a stretcher,” the grandmother said about the January crash at the intersection of Nine Mile and Evergreen roads. “I don’t remember too much about it because the accident happened so fast, all I know is that I was t-boned.”
The crash fractured her ribs, vertebrae, pelvis, leg, and ankle. She also suffered a punctured kidney.
“Sometimes my pain is at a four or five. Sometimes it shoots up to 10,” Minor said about her post-crash recovery. “I just want something done.”
Minor would like to see a stop light placed at the intersection where the accident happened.
“It’s hard to see if you’re turning left, you have to pull past the white line in order to see,” she said. “That scares me because you got your front end out, and the cars are speeding up and can tear the front of your up,” Minor said.
