I watched this one after I watched the ones about Dep. Fulford.
Deanna was a Motor Officer with Scottsdale PD. She was on her way home after providing escort for another officer's funeral.
A bee flew into her helmet and she crashed. She was thrown from the bike onto a huge boulder. She died at the scene but was revived by a doctor that was passing by. She had severe massive internal injuries, including a broken pelvis that was completely separated from her spinal column.
Hearing about what happened to her in the hospital (and her subsequent recovery) is pretty amazing and shows her Will to Win. The doctors told her husband she'd be in the hospital for 4-6 months. She left the hospital in 31 days.
Watch it here.

I had that happen to me once, but luckily was on a surface street and able to pull over safely. Outstanding young officer, though, as are so many these days.
