Sherburne teen fights for life after car crash; family seeks community support
SHERBURNE – Sherburne teen fights for her life after sustaining serious injuries from a traumatic two-vehicle car crash; her family asks for community support while she remains in critical condition.
On Friday, Jan. 16 at approximately 1:35 p.m., NYSP troopers responded to the accident on state Route 12 near Willey Road in the Town of Hamilton. Upon investigation, troopers learned that Daneil M. Miner, 18 of Sherburne was driving northbound on Route 12 and had passed Willey Road, when her vehicle slid counterclockwise on the snow covered roadway in the path of a 2004 Ford 150 pickup truck traveling southbound.
Charlie A. Anderson of Sherburne, who was driving the pickup, collided with the passenger side of Miner's Hyundai, forcing her vehicle off the west side of the road. Anderson was uninjured, but Miner had to be extricated from her vehicle by Hubbardsville firefighters and transported to Saint Elizabeth's Hospital in Utica for her serious head and internal traumatic injuries.
According to her family, Miner is in critical condition and is on a ventilator. She has undergone surgery and needs additional surgery for abdominal injuries, but doctors are waiting for the swelling in her brain to subside. Miner has multiple injuries including brain trauma, fractured vertebrae, a large hole in her diaphragm and a ruptured spleen, which are the worst of many.
Doctors are hopeful, because she is responding to pain, but her condition remains critical, said one of Miner's 10 siblings.
Miner's mother, Cindy Woodcock, said when she heard about her daughter's accident she “almost dropped to the floor” and it “about killed her.”
Woodcock and Miner's sister, Lacey Brink, said the family's “spunky little redhead” is strong, and they can see she is getting better. The family tries to stay positive during this difficult time, solely focusing on Miner's recovery.
Brink created a GoFundMe page, #DaniStrong Daneil Miner by Lacey Brink, in order to collect donations for the family's hospital travel expenses and food in the short-term and for medical co-pays and deductibles in the long-term.
The family also made lime green T-shirts that say #DaniStrong on the front and “Fight Like A Girl” on the back to sell for financial and emotional support. The T-shirts are $15 and can be purchased online at affordablememories.org. T-shirts can also be purchased in-person at different locations posted on the Facebook page, #DaniStrong.
The Facebook page was made by Miner's siblings and has information about Miner and updates about her condition.
Woodcock and Brink said every time they want to give up hope or think the worst, the community's messages of encouragement and positive attitude keeps them going. Miner's family appreciates all the hopeful messages and the community’s continued support.
Brink said if anyone is able to donate, it will help her parents focus on their daughter’s health and recovery.
