Reporter Resigns Due to Brain Injury
Back in February of 2020, KMSP (Minneapolis) Reporter Iris Perez says that she and a KMSP Photographer were rear-ended by a “distracted driver” while on their way to a news story.
Since that crash, Perez says that the accident left her with a "whiplash concussion," and post-concussion syndrome, which resulted in daily headaches, weekly migraines and "a rollercoaster of vision issues, dizziness, photophobia, chronic neck and shoulder pain, depression, fatigue, insomnia, etc."
She says that eventually the symptoms became too much, and she made the "very difficult decision to take a medical leave of absence in order to focus on healing from this complicated injury once and for all."
She has now posted on social media that she has resigned from the station, due to the complications from the accident.
