FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Fort Myers High School student is determined to walk the graduation stage despite recent life-changing challenges.
Khalia Carter, 18, was driving home on April 18, 2022, after hanging out with friends. According to a crash report provided by her moth, a motorcyclist hit Khalia's car. Her car then spun out of control and into a ditch on Cemetery Road in Buckingham.
Carter, a former cheerleader at Fort Myers High school, suffered a traumatic brain injury that has drastically impacted her active day-to-day life.
However, Carter is determined to overcome it all.
"I'm fine...I want to conquer all that I had going on before all of this happened"
Carter plans to turn this experience into a platform for drunk driving awareness and is currently in physical therapy every day for her goal to walk across her 2022 graduation stage.
