BOSTON — A 19-year-old who lost his legs in a car crash last year is on the move again, thanks in large part to a Boston Marathon Bombing survivor.
Vidal Lopez was hurt when a tractor-trailer crashed into his car in Mexico last summer.
He now has a new pair of legs thanks to the Heather Abbott Foundation.
Since then, her foundation has given about 11 other amputees customized prosthetics that weren’t covered by insurance.
The Rhode Island woman lost a leg in the Boston Marathon bombing.
Lopez’s new legs cost about $80,000.
