via WNYT CH 13: 

A local woman who was forced to have part of one of her legs 
amputated after an accident is showing people her physical challenges 
do not define her.  

Chele Teabout, a certified lifeguard at the Watervliet pool, was the 
victim of an accident 25 years ago that changed her life forever.  

Teabout, who is a former Albany corrections officer, was on the job 
when she was hit by a food cart that weighed more than 500 pounds.  

"Well the cart, was an institutional-sized food cart, and it held the 
food for 50 inmates..." Teabout explained. "It pinched the nerves 
between the bones of my ankle, and we didn´t find that out until 
eight months after physical therapy, and by then the nerves had just 
been severely damaged."
