A fundraiser has been set up for the family of a Calgary teen seriously injured in a hit-and-run collision in January.
“It’s been hard. To get that phone call at 5:30 in the morning saying that your daughter‘s been involved in a car accident…” Sackmann recalled.
Police say the driver tried to leave while the pedestrian was holding on to the vehicle and that she fell and was run over. “I have a hard time talking about it,” Sackmann said. “It makes me sick to my stomach to think that this could’ve happened to my daughter. You hear all these stories on the news about these things happening, unfortunately more often than they should.”“I get pounding headaches and dizzy, very tired. Everything I see is double,” Barriskill said in a soft voice. “I miss not being able to go to school or see my friends or just go out. And all the appointments get really tiring.
