Connecticut Teen Comes Out of Coma After New Year’s Day Car Accident

 The passenger of the 17 year old teen who died in the car accident on Interstate 287 on New Year’s Day has been in a coma since being taken to Westchester Medical Center.  Celia Sprouse, a 16 year old car accident victim, has begun responding to commands, like moving arms and legs and opening her eyes.  Her father reports that the doctors are optimistic with Celia’s progress, but that it will be a long road to full recovery.

During Celia’s weeks at Westchester Medical Center’s intensive care unit, more than 200 friends and strangers have joined a Facebook page encouraging the teen to get well. Celia’s mother responds and interacts with the well-wishers regularly, and even posts messages to her daughter.

The driver of the BMW, Maggie Radford, was killed.  She had been driving Celia home after they spent the holidays together.  Radford’s BMW drove off a highway ramp and into a tree.  Police continue to investigate the car accident.
