BRENTWOOD - It happens in an instant. You have a job, but you can no longer do it. Your car is in the garage, but you can’t drive it.

Slow road back from brain injuries. Two locals at different points of recovery.
ANKENY — Chelsie Zender says she remembers very little about her car accident Dec. 17, 2005, in Minneapolis.
Zender, 21 and a 2002 West High graduate, was a student at Minneapolis Community and Technical College at the time. She said she was driving that evening when another vehicle, allegedly fleeing from the police, ran a stoplight and slammed into her car. The left side of her body hit the side of the car, and the right side of her brain was damaged when it was jostled inside her skull.
