FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — An Honor Walk was held at Community Regional Medical Center after doctors determined 19-year-old Bobby Criado would not survive catastrophic injuries he received in a car crash.
Criado was registered as an organ donor, so family, friends, and hospital staff lined the hallway to show respect as he was wheeled into the operating room.
