A 21-year-old Auburn University student who suffered a traumatic brain injury has made a miraculous recovery that medical professionals are crediting to God.

"My doctors have told me medical science can't explain my recovery," Cole Burton told FOX 5 Atlanta. "They told me God has something to do with it."

A little over a year ago, the student from Decatur, Ala., was observing rocks along the side of the highway with his fellow classmates when a pickup truck, allegedly operated by a driver under the influence, spun out of control and hit Burton and another student.

A week after remaining unresponsive, Burton's parents were faced with the option of withdrawing treatment, which they ultimately declined after praying over the decision.

Dr. Chelsea Day, one of his neuropsychologists at Shepherd, said his "journey" will continue. They are now talking about him returning to school.
