Kara Prentice, 33, died in June 2021—nearly three years after a horrific crash that changed her life forever. On the night of September 7, 2018, she was about to get into a taxi on Seabank Road in New Brighton when a drunk driver, Rebecca Hodgson, lost control of her car while speeding at up to 55mph in a 30 zone. Hodgson’s black Renault Megane smashed into two parked vehicles, crushing Kara between them.
The mum-of-three was left with catastrophic injuries. She was rushed to Aintree Hospital where doctors were forced to amputate her left leg and half her pelvis in an attempt to save her life. After a long hospital stay, she was moved to a rehab centre in February 2019—but just weeks later, she developed sepsis and had to return to hospital. Her right leg was also amputated, reported Liverpool Echo.
