Head Re-attached in AZ

� In Phoenix, they are calling it a miracle operation - surgery that re-attached the head of a car crash victim.

 
18-year-old Marcos Parra doesn't remember the crash some months back - just some screaming.

Technically, his skull separated from his body. The neck bone and ligament were cut. But his spinal cord and arteries were intact.

Luckily, a doctor at the hospital had experimented with a new surgical technique.

In fact Parra is back to doing one of things he loves most ... playing basketball.
