Chula Vista woman makes ‘miracle’ recovery after e-bike crash, blood clot

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) – Loved ones of a Chula Vista e-bike crash victim are calling her recovery from a blood clot, ’miraculous.’

Nearly two weeks ago, I told you about Farrah Camu, 28, believed to have suffered severe brain damage from a blood clot and e-bike crash.

Now we follow through with her recovery.

Frank Camu spoke with me me nearly two weeks ago, as his sister Farrah battled for her life in an ICU.

That day, Farrah’s boyfriend, Johnny Martin, also spoke to me.

“She was on the ground behind me, holding her knee,” said Martin.

He recounted her e-bike spill on a trail in Mammoth Lakes, the stitches she received in the knee, and the nightmare 12 days later, when she was rushed to a Chula Vista ER, after a blood clot from the knee traveled to her heart, causing her to code for 7 minutes from cardiac arrest.

In the days that followed, the news was not good.

“She was posturing, had a bunch of seizures,” said Camu. “The EEG said there was abnormal brain activity. All signs pointed to severe brain damage, that she wasn’t going to come back.”
