Young fell off the back of a golf cart that was traveling about 20 to 25 mph . She hit her head but she was able to walk away seemingly fine until the next morning.

“Saturday night, her boyfriend’s mom called me and said she’s acting funny. She’s talking differently, breathing differently, and the side of her face is swollen. Then they finally noticed a little burse back behind her ear,” Renee Smith said.

Young was rushed to a hospital in Panama City then flown to a Pensacola hospital with a massive brain bleed. The family put her on life support to help her breathe.
