COLORADO SPRINGS - A happy homecoming for a little girl hit by a truck nearly three weeks ago. Shyenne Daly was crossing Platte Avenue when she was hit. She woke up in Memorial Hospital's Intensive Care Unit with no memory of the accident. She spent 17 days in the hospital. "I only felt like I'd been there 5 days but that's cuz I was in a coma and everything" she says.
The accident happened July 20th in the 2100 block of Platte. Shyenne had just gotten back from a Florida vacation and was visiting friends when she darted across the street to see a boy. She suffered a compound fracture of her left leg, broken bones in her pelvis and a head injury. "All the prayers and the best wishes, I know that's what got me through it and I'm sure that's helped Shyenne get through it as well, you couldn't really ask for anything more, it could've been a lot worse" said Chuck Daly, Shyenne's dad.
Shyenne will spend three months in a wheelchair. The family will find out next week whether she can return to school or will need a tutor.
The driver who hit Shyenne was not at fault and no charges were filed.
