In early June 2011 seventeen years old Felicia Grimmenhag got hit
by a car when she drove her moped. When she crushed against the
car she got so badly injured that her both lunges collapsed. Then
her heart stopped for 15 minutes. The doctors managed to get the
heart started again but they had to amputate her both legs above
the knees. After just two months at the hospital she decided to go
back to high school. She wanted to graduate together with her
friends.
