After being paralysed in a vehicle accident, an American boy from Colorado defied the odds to walk at his high school graduation. A horrible car accident claimed the life of Nobel Haskell, a cross-country runner from Denver, Colorado, in June 2021. His neck was shattered as a result of the collision, and he became quadriplegic. The physicians predicted that he would hardly ever be able to walk, according to the news outlets. Haskell, however, remained optimistic. Haskell has been able to concentrate on getting better with support from his family, doctors, and a variety of intensive therapies despite the physical difficulties.Haskell is seen walking on stage to earn his diploma in a video of his high school graduation ceremony that was posted on May 31 by the global platform Good News Correspondent. His classmates and teachers applauded him as he took the stage at Smoky Hill High School and received a standing ovation. The post captioned: "Noble Haskell, a student who is quadriplegic, WALKS to receive his diploma! Noble, a cross-country athlete, broke his neck in a car accident in June 2021. He was determined to run again. He was voted Outstanding Student of the Year!"
