Ellen Bryan Washington
Long before WUSA9’s Ellen Bryan was giving you alternate traffic routes, she was navigating a difficult situation in her own life — one that began 16 years ago and changed her life forever. “I think I grew up in that moment…in that instant I became much older than 11,” Bryan explained.
Like many little sisters, Bryan dreamed of becoming like her older sister Christina who had just turned 17 and was going into her senior year of high school.
“Ellen had it all… she was third in her class. She was the smartest of all of us sisters. Ellen could sing. She was in the choir. She could play golf,” Bryan remembers.
Christina’s love of golf turned into a summer job on a golf course.
June 13, 2000, started off like any other day for Christina. A thunderstorm passing through their hometown of Celina, Ohio forced everyone indoors. Christina waited until the rain stopped to finish her end-the-day tasking picking up of metal golf stands.
“So Christina had gone back outside after the storm had passed through, was bending over picking up one of those stands when a bolt of lightning came back from the storm and hit her,” Bryan said.
The bolt of lightning was so strong it made a three-foot hole right next to where Christina was standing and it stopped her heart.
Christina went into cardiac arrest and the oxygen supply to her brain stopped for 10 minutes before paramedics got to her.
