Anna Krone nearly lost her life when a drunk driver plowed into her as she was standing outside her home in Chula Vista.
She lost both her legs. But she didn’t lose her spirit.
This week, she met with the two Chula Vista police officers she credits for saving her life.
In the Nov. 20 crash on Montclair Street, Officers Curtis Chancellor and Casey Rose provided tourniquets to both Krone’s legs to prevent her from bleeding to death.
She recalled how they comforted her as they waited for firefighters and paramedics to arrive at the crash scene.
She remembered the pain and fear she felt, but also how tightly the officers held her hand.
“The best thing was his hand,” she said of one of the officers. “His hand was the most comforting.”

“He said, ‘You’re in good hands. That’s the best thing to hear,” she said.
Krone said that even with the loss, she has a lot to be grateful for.
“I have my sister, my family, my friends and my kids,” she said.
Now, she and the officers will share a bond for life.
“They saved my life. What do you say when they saved your life?”
