Kyla Mae Benton, who is currently fighting for her life following a horrific vehicle accident on 6January 2025. Unfortunately, the crash claimed the life of her dear mother, Misty Cribb, and severely injured her step brother Maddox. The family is praying for all involved and asking for the community to rally around Kyla, Eddie (Kyla's Father), and the rest of her family during this crisis.
Kyla and her step brother were airlifted to New Hanover from the scene of the wreck. Kyla was stabilized and has just left for transport to Chapel Hill. The injuries she has sustained, would’ve killed her if she was an adult.
•She has several spots of bleeding on her brain, that they are watching very closely. As of right now these bleeds do not require surgery.
•Her C Spine is dislocated and requires surgery to reset.
•She is unable to move her arm.
•She has severe bruising else where as well.
•She is currently in a medically induced coma, and intubated due to the severity of her injuries.
At this time, Kyla Mae does have a HALO in place, is stable and is no longer in a medically induced coma, and she will be having surgery soon for correction of her completely detached C-Spine. This is an extremely meticulous procedure. We are beyond BLESSED to have her here with us.
This is an ever changing / fluid situation, please follow on facebook for up to date information on how she is doing. It can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/638049541896973
