A Motorcycle Accident that Almost Killed Her — Saved Captain Sandy Yawn’s Life!
Sandra Yawn lives an adventurous life – she’s the first female yacht captain on Bravo’s “Below Deck,” now in a new season with “Below Deck Mediterranean.” She’s survived pirates and shipboard fires, but Sandy’s most harrowing experience came in a near-fatal motorcycle accident on dry land. In a stunning twist, that accident saved her life.
Sandy says she loves her life as a captain, but “Life wasn’t always smooth sailing for me.” Three years ago, Sandy was riding her motorcycle – “I may have been speeding a little,” she admits – when she struck a car that pulled in front of her. She sustained a fractured foot, multiple pelvic fractures, and internal bleeding.
