The recent court appearance of the man accused in a deadly hit-and-run in Bed-Stuy brings attention to the tragic aftermath of the incident from 2022. Lynn Christopher lost her life, and her grandson, Jacob, suffered severe brain injuries that have changed the family's life dramatically. Lindy Gardner, Jacob's mother, expressed her grief and frustration, noting that funds initially saved for college are now being redirected to Jacob's 24-hour medical care and rehabilitation. The trauma has left Jacob wheelchair-bound and unable to speak, highlighting the profound consequences of such accidents.
When you think of having children, you save for college. You're saving for their future. Yet Gardner says the money she was putting aside for her son is now being spent on round-the-clock treatment.
He's wheelchair bound. He's non-verbal. He has to eat through a tube in his stomach.
