Teen makes comeback after traumatic train collision
After a train struck the pickup he was riding in, 16-year-old Anthony Kruzick suffered multiple injuries including a severe traumatic brain injury and is receiving care at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital’s pediatric unit.
Anthony Kruzick was involved in a traumatic accident when a train collided with a pickup truck at a railroad crossing. Anthony was a passenger in that truck.
“He suffered multiple injuries to his body and a severe traumatic brain injury. Before that, he was just a normal 16-year-old boy, you know, running around, adventuring, hanging out with friends, and fishing,” April Murphy, Anthony’s mom said.
After emergency procedures, Anthony’s family chose Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital Emily Howatt Pliskatt Pediatric Unit.
“We attend every session and we see what they work with him on, and then we try to incorporate that at home. And we don’t have all the specialized equipment, but we have us,” April said.
