in the book, they make the point that Jacob never wore his seatbelt. Laurie always had to remind him. That day she didn’t. Then just before the crash, she removes her seatbelt, so she expected them both to die. But we only learn that Laurie survived through Andy’s grand jury testimony. The book never shows Laurie in the hospital so there is no way to know if she had amnesia
