A mother is pleading for help after her daughter was hit during a bike ride in Fort Lauderdale last month.
On Friday, February 18, 35-year-old Stephanie Goodrich was routinely training for a triathlon when she was sideswiped by a Saturn while crossing the A1A and Hibiscus Avenue intersection.
The accident left the tri-lingual Stanford graduate with an MBA from Duke with severe brain damage; due to swelling, part of her brain was removed, as well.
"I have had various stories," Stephanie's mother, Jean Goodrich said, "she hit the car, the car hit her. I want to know what happened to my daughter." Goodrich said she just wants answers and is asking for eyewitnesses to come forward to bring justice to a woman who was badly injured.
Stephanie has come out of her coma, but will be undergoing extensive physical therapy to learn to walk and talk again.
The Goodrich family is asking locals and the media for help to resolve this case.
