Lawrenceville Man Healing From Brain Damage After I-85 Limo Crash Last March

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), which often results from car accidents, can drastically change a person's life, but healing from TBI is not out of the question, as Demetrius Randle, 45, is showing his friends and family.  According to Andria Simmons of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution online, the former Lawrenceville resident suffered brain damage in a serious car-limo accident last spring that resulted in fatality for his son, daughter, grandson, and a non-relative.  The March 31 accident began a five-car wreck on I-85 in Atlanta when a speeding car crashed into the limousine in which many of the Randle family were passengers.  Despite their overwhelming loss, Demetrius and wife Falleen Randle moved from Gwinnett County to Malibu, California, in hopes of his recovery through a serious of treatments at Malibu Hyperbaric Medical Center.  According to Simmons, the treatments take place in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and stimulate healing of the brain by providing enormous amounts of oxygen to the body.  The brain injury victim is improving in willingness to participate in conversations, speaking more clearly, and crawling and walking with help, according to his wife.  Although Demetrius Randle currently uses a wheelchair, he dreams of walking without assistance in the future.  Falleen Randle told the AJC that her family will attempt to be present at court hearings for the 20-year-old driver who caused the fatal accident, Carmon Cody Rhoden.  Rhoden's trial date has not been scheduled, but he has been charged with vehicular homicide.
