An 18-year-old Port Lavaca woman who was injured in a two-vehicle wreck in late December is donating her organs.
Tearsten Casanova, 18, of Port Lavaca, was taken to Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital in Corpus Christi following a two-vehicle wreck Dec. 26. Casanova's family was informed that she suffered brain death Monday, said Vicky Whitaker, Casanova's grandma.
The family will be taking her off life support.
Whitaker said Casanova had identified that she wanted to donate her organs on her driver's license.
"She made that decision on her own," Whitaker said. "Her parents are very proud of her for doing that."
