A GoFundMe account has been set up for Tina Pearce as she fights for her life.

Tina Pearce

On Oct. 12, Pearce was on Interstate 80 with her beloved 12-year-old beagle Lucy going to the 24-hour emergency vet in Reno when her vehicle was hit head-on by a drunken driver, driving on the wrong side of highway.

Pearce was airlifted to Renown Medical Center in Reno with serious injuries to her face, legs and pelvis. With no injuries to her chest, or arms, it is believed that Lucy ended up between her and the steering wheel, taking the brunt of the impact.

Lucy was Pearce’s life. She was getting Lucy the care she needed and in the process saved Tina’s life.
Pearce is still in ICU recovering from her injuries. She faces more surgeries in the coming weeks.

The fund has been created to help with those expenses.

    Hoping for a full recovery. Who was this cretin driving drunk on the wrong side of the road. Obviously no insurance. I will give you three guesses and the first two don’t count.
