Saving Heather

A terrifying and horrific accident that left a mother of five just minutes away from death and forever changed her physical appearance is not changing her heart and will to press on.
It was five days before Christmas when Heather Vanboerum, 51, was shopping at a Costco in Murray. She was walking across the parking lot and hit by an out of control car that was racing at about 30 miles an hour. An elderly man is believed to have hit the gas rather than the brake. She was on the phone with her husband, when it happened.
“I heard a scream, a startled scream. Then I heard metal colliding and crunching,” Don Vanboerum said to KSL. “I heard Heather say, ‘I’m going to die!’”
