NEW ORLEANS — A 14-year-old girl who was in a serious car crash on I-12 two weeks ago is battling traumatic brain injury and has a long way to recovery, according to a post on a GoFundMe page attributed to her father Ryan Wischkaemper.
According to the post, the three sisters headed to school at Archbishop Hannan High were involved in the crash that sent 14-year-old Sienna through the vehicle's rear window. Her two sisters were inside of the vehicle, which ended up on its side.
Wischkaemper credits a man who stopped at the scene and got his two other daughters out of the vehicle and a couple of nurses who stopped and stayed with Sienna until the paramedics arrived.
The post says that Sienna sustained "serious head injuries" and is being treated at University Medical Center. The hope is that she will eventually be transferred to Children's Hospital, but before that can happen, she would need two more procedures.
"There are still many unknowns with Sienna’s journey but we remain positive and hopeful for the best outcomes. We want to thank each and every one of you for your continuing love, prayers and support. It means the world to our family," said the page on GoFundMe.
The family said the account would go strictly for their daughter's medical bills.
