Back in 2013, Tyler McKenzie and his wife were driving through an intersection in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, when their vehicle was struck by a drunk driver running a red light.
The intoxicated driver and their passenger died, while both McKenzie, now 37, and his spouse suffered physical injuries and brain damage, conditions that required rehabilitation. Between those effects and the trauma of the event, the couple — who had an infant daughter — were left unable to work.
