The agents were traveling down Route 16 when a car traveling in the opposite direction crossed the double yellow divide and struck their vehicle head on.\u00a0 <strong>The other driver, Bruce Danforth, was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision and the agents were rushed to the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.<\/strong> \u00a0Three of the agents are expected to make a full recovery, but the youngest agent, thirty-year-old Garrett Fitzgerald, suffered a traumatic spine injury.<\/p>\n<p>While he is in stable condition, Fitzgerald has lost all feeling from his chest down.\u00a0 Fitzgerald has maintained an optimistic tone, however, and says that his goal is to recover as much as possible and return to work as soon as possible.\u00a0 But that may not be possible.\u00a0 <strong>While extensive physical therapy and treatment may regain some of his movement and feeling, it is unlikely that Fitzgerald will be able to work again as a Secret Service Agent, a position he dedicated his life to obtaining.\u00a0<\/strong> According to the Boston Herald, Fitzgerald was supposed to marry his fianc\u00e9 Joan Lyall in March, but the couple says they are focusing on his recovery for the time being and will move the date if need be.\u00a0 In an instant, a promising young man\u2019s life was completely turned upside down, a potential risk that every reckless driver makes others on the road face every day.<\/p>\n<p>The last thing you need when you have sustained personal injuries in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ktHN0r-gWP0\">auto accident<\/a> is to deal with the myriad of issues involved in pursuing a Massachusetts car accident claim.
