A Day in the life of Kevin Petersen tells the story of Kevin Petersen was still in Middle School when a car accident paralyzed him from the waist down. I produced this documentary in conjunction with the driver awareness program- Building Awareness... Taking Action. It is five minutes long.

  • Just wondering. Was Kevin wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident? He didn't say that he wasn't wearing a seat belt, although the video text says that he didn't.

  • @RebelRay Kevin was sleeping in the back of the truck. He had no seatbelt on. So when they hit the patch of ice, he was flung from the car. A seatbelt would most likely have prevented the majority of his serious injuries. It certainly tells the importance of always wearing your seatbelt while in a car.

  • Is Kevin paraplegic? I am a T7 para... just wondering.....

  • Yes he is, no feeling from the waist down

  • Hey Kevin,

    You're a great guy with a great family. Your future is bright. Accidents like this show what a person is made of, you are made of strong stuff. You still have your personality, you memory, your brain, you are still you, and you are one cool guy!
