Amber (19) survives collision with scooter, but not best friend Haley. Now she speaks for the first time: “Why she, and not me?”

She was taken to the funeral center in a wheelchair, where she said goodbye to her best friend. Her memory is affected, and she only recently succeeded in walking a few meters. But the rehabilitation of Amber M’chaar (19) will take a long time. On December 26, the teenager narrowly survived a terrible collision. Her friend Haley Cuypers (18) did not survive the blow. “If we had been messing around for a few seconds longer at the door of the van, then Haley might have been there,” Amber says now, for the first time.
