A WOMAN who is
now in a hospital bed after having surgery on her left leg as a result
of a vehicular accident over the weekend is asking law enforcers to help
solve her case.
Mary Ann Fulkerson, 26, of Tamuning, also sought the assistance of Variety,
saying that she does not have relatives to find out whether the man who
struck her and friends in Talafofo last Saturday night has been apprehended.
Fulkerson has been in the hospital since Saturday night and she said she
was not informed by police of the status of the vehicular incident report.
A check with some Navy authorities revealed that the police report will
be made available in a week.
Fulkerson, who used to work at Garden Villa resort in Tumon, sustained
cuts and bruises all over her body and her left leg may have to be amputated
because of the severe impact of the crash.
Doctors at Guam Memorial Hospital tried to fix her leg with a metal implant.
She is under observation and is scheduled for a magnetic resonance imaging
diagnostic test.
Her doctor told her that she should not work for at least six months.
According to Fulkerson, she and a friend, Kenneth Mark Grunberger, a commanding
officer of the Naval Airborne Weapons Maintenance Unit of the U.S. Navy,
were riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle with another friend when they
were hit by a speeding red car on Route 4 in Talafofo at about 7 p.m.
on Saturday.
She said they were heading towards Jeffs Pirates Cove to watch
the Katchafire concert when a red car from the opposite lane
swerved towards them.
The motorcycle she was riding with Grunberger was hit, throwing her and
her friend several feet.
She said she woke up in the hospital with severe pain, her left leg numb.
Grunberger, who was also severely injured, is now in stable condition
at the Naval Hospital of Guam.
