WABC) – A teen who survived a traumatic brain injury after subway surfing is now warning others to think twice about the dangerous activity. Terrell Ismail, 17, was struck in the head by an overpass while surfing a train in June of 2022. Bystanders later found the teen and called 911 for help.
He went into cardiac arrest and was left in a coma with a traumatic brain injury. Two months after the incident, Ismail was admitted to Blythedale Children’s Hospital for rehabilitation.
At the time, he wasn’t able to breathe or eat on his own, ultimately needing a tracheostomy and a feeding tube. CONTINUE
