Marisah pictured today with scarring to her left arm - A mother-of-one has revealed how she almost died after suffering a seizure whilst driving that caused her car to crash into a tree and burst into flames. Marisah Izquierdo, 26, from Florida, US, suffered third-degree burns to 40% of her body, lost her leg hand, right pinky finger and right leg. She woke up a month later in hospital, her whole body wrapped in bandages.
