Chelsea Richardson was just 13 years old when she was in a car accident with her mother, Roxanne, and suffered a fatal brain injury.
“I passed out driving,” explained Roxanne Richardson-Dover Sunday, just days after the seven year anniversary of her daughter’s death. “She unbelted to help steer the vehicle back on the road and over corrected. I don't have any memory but we went through a field and a pasture and flipped five or six times. She was ejected; thrown 60 feet from the vehicle."
Richardson-Dover also suffered a brain injury from the accident. When she came to, she had to decide whether or not to donate her daughter's organs.
“If somebody could have given her one to save her life, I would have taken it so that is why I chose to [donate her’s]," said Richardson-Dover.
