Audra Tatum, 31-year-old, was left permanently disabled after a crash. The accident left two screws in her ankle, two in her hip, two in her knee and now she is unable to stand for more than four hours.
Tatum felt more comfortable to put her legs on the dashboard, but her husband Nick had warned her not to do that many times. She said,"my husband always told me that i am going to get in a wreck someday and break my legs."
When the crash happened, the airbag threw her foot into her face breaking her ankle, nose, and femur. She said, "I was looking at the bottom of my foot facing up at me." She had no time to move when the collision happened.
Audra is raising awareness to get people to stop putting their feet on the dashboard. She wrote on Facebook, "DON'T RIDE OR LET PEOPLE RIDE LIKE THIS!!!!!! I am disabled at 31 years old from this. No one else was hurt. Just me. I lost my career and all from that day."
