While working on the tarmac of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport, Delta Air Lines employee Camdyn Davis guided a plane to its gate when a lavatory servicing truck hit her.
According to 11 Alive, the driver told police that he was looking at his tablet and was not paying attention while driving.
Reports state the impact resulted in Davis receiving a concussion and a fractured skull, as well as neck and brain damage.
Joe Hayes, Davis’ uncle, told the outlet, “When they found her … she wasn’t breathing. She was, you know, completely unconscious, if not dead for a moment.”
“Camdyn learned about this the same we all did, in terms of watching the video and being shocked that way because she had no recollection of what happened,” he said. “As soon as impact occurred, she was knocked unconscious and doesn’t remember any of it.”
Delta released the following statement, according to WLBT:
“Delta teams are fully investigating an accident involving an employee injury in Atlanta on Saturday evening, as nothing is more important than the safety of our people and our customers. The employee was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.”
Davis’ mother has launched a GoFundMe page for her daughter.
In an update on Sunday, she mentioned her daughter was discharged from the hospital but rushed back, and doctors discovered small brain bleeds.
“She is also experiencing frequent mood swings, irritability, anger, lashing out, confusion and forgetfulness. Please continue to pray for my baby!”
