In August 2017, Dylan Sione ’23 left his hometown of Fredericksburg, brimming with enthusiasm to embark on his involvement as a freshman at Texas A&M University.
On the eve of the first day of classes, while en route to College Station, Sione came upon a car accident near Bastrop. Demonstrating the spirit of a good Aggie, he promptly pulled over to check on the well-being of the driver involved. Little did he expect this act of kindness would significantly alter his Aggie journey.
“While I was standing next to the car on the side of the road and speaking with the woman in the accident, a distracted driver hit me,” he said. “I suffered fractures in my tibia and fibula in both legs.”
Sione was airlifted to the hospital and spent two weeks in intensive care before being discharged in a wheelchair.
“Needless to say, I missed the first day of classes,” he added.
