Teen Loses Leg After Crash Left Her Hanging From Power Line

Kennedy Littledike from Nampa, Idaho, lived through a frightening car crash in 2021. Following a breakup, she was crying in her car, lost control and her vehicle flipped. She was thrown out and landed on a power line. For over an hour, Kennedy hung from the power line by her broken leg. “I would go through it all again,” she says. The 19-year-old shared her story of recovery with Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall.

[@nightmare348]

It's genuinely astonishing that she survived that.

[@Scobelleo]

Right!? I always think, "what if this had happened 50, 25, or even 10 years ago?" It's crazy to me that we now have the technology/know-how to handle things like this-- things that would have been an absolute death sentence in the past.

[@ianwalton284]

That's why the send 18 year olds into war. They can come back from stuff that a 30 or 40 years old would not survive. I learned that the hard way when I was 18. I think they put about 2 or 3 gallons of blood in me in three days. It was draining out almost as fast as they could put it in.

The fact that you told yourself "if you cry, you're done" and you blamed yourself, and were thankful you were hurt instead of your friends. There's a reason for you to recover. You're a wonderful person, full of life.

She blamed the accident on her crying right before it... she's flopping all over in her story...

[@Demonhead1]

Well it was her driving.. so kinda her fault

[@pr4208]

I could be wrong, but maybe she thought if she cried and panicked she would be done, basically panic contributing to death. Your emotional state during injuries can literally save or kill you based on blood pressure, heart rate, blood loss, etc

[@amandakucsera]

Yes, I understood that... Maybe my message was misunderstood because I didn't overexplain it.. She didn't want to cry even though she had every right to from the amount of pain, she would be giving in to it, but no, she wanted to survive instead of cry. She started the crash wanting to cry about silly things. She ended it wanting to survive, when if she chose to continue to cry and not take the pain of her mistake, she would pass away. She would give up her survival. The panic would definitely have not helped her situation. @@pr4208

Oh.. my.. gosh!! What a TROOPER, that girl!! So incredibly lucky and amazing that she not only survived the accident & injuries, but overcame the mental and emotional challenges as well!! I, too, was involved in a car accident just over a year ago in which my non-dominant arm was severely injured by the steering wheel airbag (11-14 breaks between the wrist & elbow... 2 of which pierced through my skin & I was bleeding out because one of those breaks severed my ulnar artery). Just like the incredibly brave young woman in this video, I also was awake through the whole ordeal and never lost consciousness (not until I was at the hospital and was put under anesthesia). I stayed in the hospital 8 days and had a total of 4 surgeries. The severity of my injuries resulted in some pretty extensive nerve damage and limited range of motion (I couldn't even make a fist with that hand for a while). For months, my mom had to help me with basic things like taking a shower, getting dressed, applying deodorant, putting my hair up, etc. ...I learned very quickly that you truly don't realize how much you use your non-dominant hand/arm until you physically can't use it. Today, the nerve damage is fully healed and physical therapy helped me get back to having almost full range of motion back in that arm. Although my 8 days in the hospital and 4 surgeries doesn't even BEGIN to compare to her 7+ WEEKS in the hospital and 21+ surgeries (and at only 16 years old), it CERTAINLY DOES put into perspective just how and how strong and resilient she is (both mentally and physically) aftereverything she's been through!! It's also a great reminder that, whenever we're going through a hard time (mentally, emotionally, and/or physically), we can ALL be as strong and resilient as she was/is if we have the will to fight and persevere and stay positive and open-minded through those hard times! ❤
