HENRICO COUNTY, Va. --- A Godwin Highschool student who was partially paralyzed by a car accident just walked across the stage at his high school graduation.
Ryan Estrada lost control of his vehicle while trying to avoid a bicyclist on Gayton Road in Henrico County on Nov. 8, 2017.
Ryan suffered a broken vertebra in his neck and severe spinal cord injury resulting in paralysis of his hands and legs.
After spending 6 weeks at VCU medical center, doctors said he would probably never walk again.
But this week, Estrada walked across the stage of his high school graduation, happily proving doctors wrong.
