A 6-year-old girl is recovering after surgeons reattached her left hand, severed when it was caught in a loop of jump rope that had snagged on the axle of her mother's car. Erica Rix underwent 10 hours of surgery after the accident in early September and spent nine days in intensive care before returning home. Erica was playing with a jump rope in the back seat of her mother's car and let one end of the rope out the window to flutter in the wind. The rope caught on the car's axle and a loop of the rope tightened around the girl's wrist, slicing off her hand.
"She was screaming and screaming and so I got out of the car and at her window that was just cracked about that much, the remaining part of her hand." About a year after this freak accident Erica and her mom stand up today to talk about the tragedy.
