## Summary

Elexis Robinson, 17, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury after being thrown from a car while standing through its sunroof during a parking-lot stunt in Vancouver, Washington. The accident has left her with serious memory and orientation problems, and doctors say it is too early to know how fully she will recover.

The crash happened on 3 November, when the driver made a sharp turn in a shopping centre car park. Robinson fractured her skull and suffered three brain bleeds; she now spends much of the day asleep and is expected to need extensive rehabilitation. Her mother said doctors may need six months to a year before they can assess her long-term condition, and urged that the other teenager involved be held accountable without having her life ruined.
