A Texas community is rallying around a local teen who was hospitalized after being involved in a car crash before the Bridgeland High School homecoming parade.
According toKHOU, Zoe Moody, who was nominated to be homecoming princess, was severely injured in a rollover car crash on Sept. 12.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office told the outlet that the teen may have tried to turn off a freeway exit at the last minute, leading her to be ejected from the vehicle as it flipped over multiple times.
“She has an incredibly long road ahead of her,” organizers of aGoFundMecampaign set up to help pay for her medical expenses wrote in a message.
An update on the page posted Wednesday said she underwent surgery that day and is recovering.
“Zoe is still in a medically induced coma,” organizers wrote in another update. “Her injuries are extensive, and we need her to heal.”
“All angels and prayer warriors are needed,” they added. “Please share this with everyone you know and please stay safe and be well. We love all of you!
In a post tosocial media, the sheriff’s office said a male passenger who was with the teen at the time was also in critical condition.
