Ivelisse Martinez, 27, survived a seven car pile up which killed her
husband, Jose Vargas Rosario, 35 and their toddler son Brayden Vargas,
but she has been left with amnesia as she can't remember who they are or
if she ever had a family. An elderly woman's car ploughed into their
stationary vehicle at Altamonte springs, Florida, killing her son and
husband and leaving her with serious injuries.
When she was given the
devastating news in hospital, she said she could not recall having a
baby and was not sure she was married. 'She was informed of the passing
of her husband and her son. She does not remember the crash, and at that
time did not remember the family members either,' Altamonte Springs
Police Lieutenant Rob Pelton said.
Temporary amnesia can be triggered by serious brain injuries - often
caused in car crashes - as well as by psychological damage. Sufferers
usually regain their memory after a few days, however this recovery can
take months. Some people never fully regain their memory. One can only
imaging her agony when she comes around.
Police said a car driven by
Cyndia Guthrie, 75, collided with vehicles waiting at a red light last
Friday morning. Investigators said the woman did not apply her brakes
before she slammed into the back of the family's gold Kia.
Officers are not yet sure why the woman failed to stop. No charges have been filed at this stage.
