Jahrling moved to Baltimore
Posted on February 18, 2008
Freshman Bria Jahrling, who was struck by a car in the Jan. 29 accident on Bluestone Drive, was transported last week from the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville to begin treatment at Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, Md.
During the accident, Jahrling sustained damage to the right frontal lobe of her brain. This area of the brain is connected to non-verbal abilities such as reasoning, memory, judgment, emotion and impulse control.
The case is still under review by the Rockingham County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. The office will be responsible for determining what charges, if any, are filed.
No additional information has been released about the accident or the driver of the vehicle.
