http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/177059271.htmlMILWAUKEE- In a flash earlier this year, a family was changed forever.
Police say an oncoming driver suffered a seizure, lost control and slammed into a car innocently waiting at a stop sign. Four family members were in the struck car. The crash in New Berlin killed Patti White, her brother Tom Wagner and Tom's wife, Cathy.
There is a surviving sibling. Tom and Patti's brother, William Wagner, lived.
"I remember pulling out of the driveway and the next thing I remember is someone cutting my seatbelt and my brother's dead next to me," the survivor said.
That terrible collision not only inspired a life change, it has moved William to change genders. He said he legally changed his name to Justine April.
