Pain and suffering result from Christmas Day stupidityBy Fan staff The stupidity of a young driver and a tragic crash resulting in the paralyzing injury to a young boy brought out the love, concern and generosity of friends, family and strangers at a recent fundraiser. The young male, driving with his girlfriend at a high rate of speed, lost control of his car, crossed the center-line and crashed into a car driven by Jeanine Doctor. As a result, four-year old Peyton Doctor (Jeanine and Tom Doctor’s son) suffered near-death injuries, with broken bones and lower body paralysis. His mother, Jeanine and two passengers, April Bausano and Britney Taylor, were also injured. A lot of pain and suffering were the conse-quences of the young driver’s poor judgment. He and his girlfriend were fortunate to escape serious injury.
