Read more from WJZ-TV | CBS Baltimore about Owen Bell, a 20-year-old Bucknell University wrestler who was airlifted to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. After a nearly fatal crash left him with skull and facial fractures, he underwent hours of life-saving surgery.

"They did surgeries on me, they pretty much saved my life here," said Owen when speaking with WJZ.

Now, while still in recovery, Owen is giving back. He is active with Shock Trauma’s Center for Injury Prevention and Policy, supporting the Trauma Survivors Network and speaking to teens about injury prevention.

His message is simple: recovery takes time, and for many survivors, it is a lifelong journey.

Special thanks also goes out to Sam Adams, MSN, RN, BAIMD, president and Shock Trauma neurotrauma critical care nurse, for bringing her expert clinical knowledge to this story.
