Woman who lost legs in car crash makes plea to drivers who continue to speed

CARNEGIE, Pa. — A woman who lost her legs in a car crash, which also injured her father and his friend, is speaking out about drivers who continue to speed.

She said that another car accident happened Monday.

Bundridge wasn’t home when this crash happened, but she got a call about it because of her own traumatic experience.

“Only thing I remember is being in that ambulance crying to the officer because he rode with me,” Bundridge said.

The crash happened on Father’s Day weekend.

Bundridge was outside, while her father and his roommate were fixing his granddaughter’s car that had broken down. A car hit all three of them.

Bundridge told Channel 11 that her life will never be the same.

“Can’t really get upstairs at all, unless he carries me which is hard,” Bundridge said. “Getting in and out of the house on that main road is obviously a concern since that’s where it happened.”

Bundridge is also worried about two businesses she owns that her father helped out with.

“There’s no way we are going to be able to run it,” she said.

Bundridge’s father is still recovering from numerous injuries, including short term memory less.

“He says it’s 1978. He doesn’t know anything about the accident. He doesn’t remember, but he knows all of us,” Bundridge said.

Bundridge’s children are so traumatized by what they remembering seeing on the day of the crash, they can’t even talk about it. But the family is doing a lot to spread awareness, including making a sign to encourage drivers to slow down.

PennDOT installed a speed sign right outside the home, but it was taken down. It’s not clear who removed the sign, but PennDOT told Channel 11 they are investigating.

“I just want the speed limit to be dropped,” she said.

She also wants justice. The driver who hit her is facing felony charges, including aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence.

“When I get upset, I feel like she took everything. But then I rethink I got a second chance to live,” Bundridge said.
