‘I’m grateful they survived’: mother reflects on daughter’s accident in Vegas
Recalling a phone call she received at 3:30 in the morning from a police officer, informing her daughter had been injured, Roberta Sinclair says she experienced every parent’s worst nightmare.
Early Saturday morning, Katrine Sinclair and her friend Charlie Lastowsky were struck by a vehicle, while at a crosswalk in Las Vegas, Nevada. They, along with another friend had travelled there to celebrate Katrine’s 21st birthday.
Roberta, who noted her daughter was conscious but very much in pain, said upon hearing the news she was overcome with feelings of disorientation and shock.
“You’re trying to understand the situation and then grateful because you hear they are alive,” she said.
