Crash survivor Grace achieves ‘the First that she always deserved’
Ten years after a road accident that changed her life, Grace Currie is celebrating achieving a First in Fine Art from the University of Chester.
In October 2010, Grace, 27, from Bagley, near Ellesmere in Shropshire, was crossing the road in Baschurch when she was hit by a car, suffering a catastrophic brain injury and needing 24/7 care.
But she fought back to go to college and eventually found Chester University to work with her to achieve her degree.
Her mother, Lorraine said:“When our journey started in 2010 we thought everything was over.
For six weeks after her accident, it was unclear whether Grace would live or die.
It took almost two months for her to breathe unaided and 12 months before she could return home.
She wasn’t walking, speaking or able to do anything for herself at that point.
