## Narrative
Driver was stuck on ice pulling into a driveway, car got traction and driver thought they were on the brake but was on the gas.  The vehicle ran into the garage going 9.9 mph (we have the EDR) and the steering wheel airbag and knee airbags deployed.  The knee airbag caused a significant compound fracture of the lower tibia and fibula.  Accident happened on 1/20 and orthopedics tried to repair using bone grafts, rods and screws.  She has been non weight bearing since then and now on 7/27 it has been recommended to amputate the lower leg.
