Angela Chelette thought her son was dead when a deputy showed up at her doorstep in Addis, Louisiana, at 3:30 a.m. and told her to quickly get to Our Lady of the Lake hospital. Her son, Ryan Reech, 21, just had a car accident.

“When someone tells you the priest will be in with you first and then the doctor, there’s a million things that go through your head that your kid’s gone,” Chelette said, WAFB reported.
