Sam Kerr’s grandmother, Coral Kerr, has spoken out for the first time following a horrific accident that nearly took her life. The 90-year-old was struck by a ute just meters from her Perth home, leaving her critically injured.
The December accident resulted in severe injuries including a broken pelvis, fractured shin, and ankle damage. Coral spent months in hospital undergoing multiple surgeries and rehabilitation, astonishing her family with her strength and willpower.
