Wilson’s sacrum — a bone in her back at the base of the lumbar vertebrae — broke in half. It was bolted back together, she said. She also sustained pelvic fractures and a skull fracture.

Doctors told Wilson, a new mother, not to lift more than 5 pounds, less than a third of her baby’s weight, for several months after the collision. She delayed starting college and a new job while she recovered. Her mother took off work to care for her and her daughter.

“The next day (after the crash), I had time to think about it. My main focus was going home to my kid,” Wilson said. “I wasn’t really worried about it; it happened, and there was nothing I could do about it.

“I just got to take my time, heal up and finish doing what I need to do in life.”

Galbraith had to take leave from the Rolling Hills Fire Department. He hopes to return once he is able to run and jump again.

Before the collision, a group of friends — including Galbraith, Wilson and the other three passengers — had been at the Tulsa State Fair. They had just left to go hang out at Galbraith’s house.

He and Wilson have only patchy recollections of the collision. For a time after the collision, Galbraith thought he had caused it.
