GARDEN CITY, MI – A heartbreaking tale of caution is emerging from a Garden City family after a sledding accident left a beloved mother partially paralyzed. Jessica Wollweber, a caring parent and active member of her community, experienced a tragic incident while enjoying a day of winter fun with her 10-year-old daughter.
The accident occurred earlier this year at Middlebelt Hill in Hines Park. According to reports, Jessica was sledding down the hill when she collided headfirst into a tree. The impact was devastating, resulting in multiple fractures to her face and back, as well as a traumatic brain injury.
“When she got to the hospital, she was maybe there for an hour, and they had to remove part of her skull to relieve the pressure,” said her distraught mother, Ellen Wollweber. “It’s something no family should ever have to go through.”
The family has now taken it upon themselves to raise awareness about the dangers of sledding, emphasizing that what can seem like innocent fun can quickly turn into a life-altering situation. They urge parents to carefully choose sledding locations and monitor their children closely while they play.
As Jessica continues her long road to recovery, the Wollweber family hopes that sharing their story can serve as a cautionary tale for others. “We’re not trying to scare anyone, but we want families to be mindful and safe,” Ellen added. “This can happen to anyone.”
The community is rallying around the Wollweber family during this difficult time, providing support as they navigate the challenges ahead.
