How Paralympian Overcame Near-Death Crash Which Left Her Unable To Walk & Speak

Eltje Malzbender has come back from the brink of death after a cycling crash. The physiotherapist almost lost her life after crashing off her bike while cycling on an isolated Waikato road. Eltje Malzbender was found lying bloodied and unconscious near the tiny beach settlement of Marokopa, west of Waitomo Caves. She was in a coma for three months and when she finally emerged she had no recollection of the accident, which she suspects was a hit and run, and no memory of major life events including that her brother had died years earlier.

A former national champion runner in her native Germany, Malzbender suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and spent six weeks in intensive care. But in a stunning show of courage and fighting spirit, the 55-year-old has stunned doctors into, talking and walking once again.
