KENT COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Call it a Christmas miracle if you will. But just a couple of days before Christmas, postal worker Dora Schweiger was out on her route in Kent County on M-57 near Shaner Avenue in Courtland Township northeast of Grand Rapids when she was involved in a head-on crash with a semitruck.
Besides pushing in the front end of her mail truck, the accident broke both arms, both wrists, her pelvis bone, her tailbone, both legs, both feet, and ribcage.
Speaking with Fox 17, both daughters Kendra and Page were at home when they got the call. They were both shocked, but grateful, that the crash didn’t cost their mom her life. Kendra went onto to say about her mother, “Her spine’s intact; she’s not paralyzed; she can wiggle her toes and fingers.” Schweiger had surgery Christmas Day and is now in recovery.
Dora spent Christmas in the hospital and the same is expected for New Year’s Day.
Her daughter, Kendra has started a GoFundMe to recover what was lost in the accident. In two days, their goal was met and now the family is in the recovery process together.
