Parents of a 17-year-old Tennessee athlete described to a judge the heartbreaking moment they broke the news to their daughter that she had lost both legs when a speeding vehicle crashed into her.

Janae Edmondson, a volleyball and basketball player, had asked her parents if they would still love her—legless, her mother said at a detention hearing in St. Louis, Missouri.
