It was a beautiful fall day when Alexander rode her bike home from work. Everything was fine until she met the eyes of a truck driver as he approached the stop sign behind her. He didn't stop. The truck ran over her lower body with front and back tires and dragged her across the pavement. Five weeks in a coma and 29 surgeries later, Alexander survived. Color photos.
