Still in coma, woman injured in Cumberland plane crash returns home
The mother of one of the four victims of a Cumberland County airplane crash is planning a lawsuit. Jerolyn Northcutt says as her daughter recovers at Duke Medical Center, the bills are piling up and no one is stepping up to help.
Posted — UpdatedWhile Leal, Elliott and instructor Jake Parsons are recovering from their injuries, doctors told Jeroyn Northcutt that they've done all they can for her daughter. They suggested putting Dominque Northcutt in a skilled nursing facility, but her mother refused.
"COVID-19 is raging in the nursing homes. I'm like 'Are you kidding me?'" Jeroyn Northcutt said. "I said, 'I'm bringing my baby home.'"
In addition to taking care of her daughter, she has been taking care of her bedridden, 78-year-old mother for the past two years. She said she's putting her trust in God.
"OK, Lord, you feel I can handle this, and I have faith in you that you're going to bring [my daughter] out of this," she said.
