It’s been one month since a Plano family had their lives turned upside down on a drive home from a New Year’s Eve celebration. Dallas Police say it was a drunk driver who hit the family along U.S. 75, leaving an 8-year-old boy in critical condition. From Children’s Medical Center, the fa mily shared a video of 8-year-old Said Abbasova playing soccer. It’s a seemingly simple moment that now feels like a future ripped away, Abbosova now an amputee. “I feel pretty sad about my leg, because I can’t walk with my friends. I can’t walk anywhere. I can’t go to school, and pretty much that’s it,” said the 8-year-old. It was at about 1 a.m., just an hour into the New Year, when witnesses told Dallas Police they saw Michael McCrae weaving through traffic and swerving dangerously along northbound Central Expressway near Royal Lane. “Someone hit us, and the car flipped three times,” said Said’s mom, Rukhsara Abbasova. Abbasova said that’s when the world went black. When she came to, strangers had pulled her and her daughter from the wreckage. Her husband had climbed through a broken window. “I saw my daughter, I saw my husband, but I didn’t see my son. When I noticed that I can’t find my son, I started to look around and saw that about 20 meters from us and many people, and I started to run there,” she said. Family said that, despite a seatbelt, Said was ejected through the car’s rear windshield. EMTs rushed him to Children’s, but it was too late to save his leg, which was severed below the knee. Police arrested McCrae for intoxication assault with a vehicle and resisting arrest. “From January one, time stopped for us, for our family. I don’t feel anything. I don’t feel what is the weather outside, what is the date of today, what is the day of week today. I don’t know, because every time it’s him, he needs the care,” said Abbasova. Their community has rallied, raising more than $110,000 to help cover the bills from multiple surgeries, therapy, a wheelchair and eventually prosthetics for a growing boy now facing an uncertain future. ...read more read less
