Last year, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office presented an “A Voice for Victims” award to a young couple who had been struck by a car after stopping to pull a motorist from an overturned vehicle on an interstate ramp. Andrea “Nikki” Blanton and Brian Crowl were both injured in the January 2006 accident, but Nikki endured numerous surgeries from which she never quite recovered. Shortly after their engagement in January of 2007, Nikki died of complications from the injuries she sustained saving a man’s life.
Nikki’s determination to overcome her ordeal was such an inspiration that District Attorney Howard dedicated a Good Samaritan Award in her honor. Nikki’s mother, grandmother and aunt were presented with the inaugural award at the ceremony. In years to come, civilians who go above and beyond the expected to assist others will receive the Andrea “Nikki” Blanton Good Samaritan Award from the Fulton District Attorney’s Office
Nikki blanton was my Older sister. I never knew about this until today, when it was on the news that the UPS driver that stoped to helped the overturned car recieved it. apperntly her mother did the acceptance thing for the award behind my dads back, which is total BS. But still, ive never been more proud of a family member as i am of her.
Also, the car that lost control and hit her, was driven by a drunk driver, which is why i went crazy in nissatun3rs "im a drunk driving douchebag" thread
just wanted to share
