  • Nathan Torres was riding a bike when police say he was hit by a car, which caused him to suffer a severe brain injury. For five days, his family didn’t know where he was and reported him missing to police, but he was in a local hospital listed as “John Doe.” “The officer that found my brother tried his best. And everyone thinks that we blame the hospital, but we in no way blame them,” Nathan’s sister, Angelica Martinez says. Inside Edition Digital’s Stephanie Officer reports.

    My sister in law was hit by a car at the exact same age, right in front of her house. Today, she is in nursing school and a mom to three. Her brain was swelling, and the removed the piece of her skull, she couldn’t talk, eat or walk. Once they put the skull piece back in after letting the brain swell she began recovering. I hope this young man can make a similar recovery

      @@maeganlozano7058 my lil sister was 4 years old when she was also hit by a car. She was in a coma and woke up 2 weeks later but while she was in a come they said that she probably wasn’t going to make it and if she did she will be in a vegetative state. Thankfully when she did wake up she was a lil different for a while, wasn’t talking but soon after she began to recover. She is now 32 years with no issues. A mom to 2 kids and her sons name is Nathan:) I pray Nathan fully recovers ❤️

      You can tell she's the woman of the house. When you take that responsiblity theirs no time to cry and show weakness. She has to be strong for her family. Believe me she is torn up inside. Once she's by herself she will start balling her eyes out and there's no stopping the water works. It happens to all of us unfortunately, but with the grace of god we all get through this. Sorry for the long comment. Godbless this family and prayers go out to them.

    I value how the interviewer refrained from interrupting with questions. She allowed the sister to speak, recognizing that the sister was doing a great job at explaining. The interviewer even allowed pauses to happen naturally. Interviewing isn’t just about asking the right questions. Listening and making the other person feel comfortable to speak is also important.

      his brain was fine....but this kid? theres a chance nothing inside is ever rewired correctly, that's not affected by age,only physical recovery is and he'll need a working brain to move a working body.

The next day my 12 year old daughter and her best friend was walking down the street and was hit by a man high on meth and driving a stole work truck. My daughter died instantly. Her best friend survived with minor injuries, thankfully. I will continue to pray for Nathan's recovery and the family.

      Oh my goodness…. Im extraordinarily sorry for your loss… I can’t imagine the pain as a mother. So many times the insensitivity of people and their own darkness, evil, and addictions affect the lives of those who were innocent. No mother should ever go through that pain and I’m so sorry your family had to get involved. Just know I pray your family and you stay strong and can emotionally recover because I know it isn’t easy. I know this may be controversial but don’t fall into hatred for whoever hurt your daughter, it will only drown your emotions and mental wellbeing more. No they aren’t innocent or good for what they did, but don’t stay bitter in life. I bet your daughter would’ve wanted her momma to be happy in the long run, and wherever she is now I am glad she isn’t suffering. Many hugs to you and my condolences, I wish I could give out help to your family, but just know I am rooting for all of you to heal over time. ❤

    I had the same injury. I was ran over by someone driving a SUV going 65mph! I blacked out on IMPACT! Woke up 3 days later outta the coma and half of my Skull was gone! I was told I was never going walk, return back to work, ETC . My brain moved 5cm which was considered deadly! 1 year later I made a full recovery! Back at work and driving! Stay in faith and pray!! What helped me was a lot of prayer and vitamin C and challenging my brain!!!

      Wow! That is amazing. So glad you made it through. I’m sure it was a long stressful recovery. Hoping this young boy can have the same miracle as you.

    I think this was the best Inside Edition work. Finally the whole story. Sometimes you feel like your hanging and there is not alot of details
    This was a slam dunk interview!
    Keep up the good work.

    I desperately want the family and especially Nathan to understand that even if he never walks and/or talks again, he can still lead a long, meaningful, fulfilling life. I went to bed a relatively healthy person on Halloween 2018 and I woke up November 1st 2018 monoplegic. I couldn't feel or use my right leg. I still don't have full use, and I probably never will, but I have a loving and supportive family and that's the most important thing to have when you're suddenly disabled. I can personally assure you a wheelchair is NOT the obstacle people make it out to be. This kid has so many people in his corner and I just know that whatever he does or doesn't regain, he'll still be the incredible young man his family know him to be

    This is heartbreaking. Poor young Nathan, I hope he recovers to a point where he can have a life and enjoy it.
    Angelica is a very strong young woman and has obviously listened to what the medical professionals have told the family.
    I hope the driver of the car that hit Nathan is charged with something and was insured so Nathan's medical bills will be covered.
