In September 2005, Kirby Barker, a Hobart resident, fell asleep behind the wheel five minutes from home. The crash left her in a coma for ten days with multiple major trauma to both legs and her face. It took her one and a half years before she could walk again. 

 

“I’m still impacted by my accident today. I have regular medical appointments and continue to have procedures and surgeries. This will be life long.

 

My message to other people who are driving and feel tired is to listen to your body and take a break when you need to".
