- 1:15Speaker 1: Now that we're past that, brook, welcome to our show.
- 1:17Speaker 1: How's your husband? Can you tell us the story?
- 1:20Speaker 3: Yeah, he's doing a little better today. He's out of
- 1:23Speaker 3: his coma. He does have brain damage, so that part
- 1:29Speaker 3: is going to take a lot of time to heal
- 1:32Speaker 3: from that. He's confused, he's disoriented, but he's alive and
- 1:37Speaker 3: he's awake, and it's going to take a lot of time.
- 1:41Speaker 3: But he should make a good recovery.
- 1:44Speaker 1: For people who don't know your story, what happened with
- 1:46Speaker 1: your husband?
- 1:48Speaker 3: Sure, he was in a motorcycle accident. He was on
- 1:53Speaker 3: New River Road between I seventeen and care Free. There's
- 1:58Speaker 3: not a lot of traffic on that road. It looked
- 2:02Speaker 3: like a group of donkeys went out into the road
- 2:05Speaker 3: and it was about nine o'clock at night. So he
- 2:07Speaker 3: went to swerve, lost control, went through a tree, a cactus.
- 2:12Speaker 3: His bike flipped fifty or so feet one way, he
- 2:16Speaker 3: flipped fifty feet the other way. I got a text
- 2:22Speaker 3: message on my phone that night saying that he could
- 2:25Speaker 3: have been in an accident. We have the Cardos system,
- 2:28Speaker 3: so it has a crash detection alert. So I left immediately.
- 2:34Speaker 3: I called nine one one as soon as I left
- 2:36Speaker 3: it gave them the exact coordinates. I got there before
- 2:41Speaker 3: anybody else, so I was like, okay, so it might
- 2:43Speaker 3: have been because they were supposed to do it drive by,
- 2:45Speaker 3: so it might have just been a glitch or something.
- 2:50Speaker 3: So I walked because he has a pretty powerful bike,
- 2:53Speaker 3: so I was like, well, I might just walk down
- 2:56Speaker 3: the road with my flashlight and just do a double
- 2:58Speaker 3: check to put my own mind at ease. So I
- 3:02Speaker 3: walked probably forty sixty feet or so, and I saw
- 3:08Speaker 3: the reflection of his bike. So I went over there
- 3:12Speaker 3: and couldn't find him. I finally found him by the road.
- 3:16Speaker 3: It was a pretty traumatic scene. He was still conscious.
- 3:21Speaker 3: It took me about thirty minutes to get to him,
- 3:23Speaker 3: but he was still conscious. He was trying to raise
- 3:27Speaker 3: his arm to have somebody see him. But where he
- 3:32Speaker 3: was out because there was like a curve and then
- 3:34Speaker 3: it straightaway, so nobody could see him laying there. The
- 3:41Speaker 3: cops got there about ten It was probably five minutes
- 3:45Speaker 3: ten minutes after I got there. I called him right
- 3:48Speaker 3: when I saw him, gave them the exact coordinates, and
- 3:52Speaker 3: fire department was there ten minutes after police got there.
- 3:56Speaker 2: That's crazy. So the helmet, the helmet notified to the
- 3:59Speaker 2: helmets saved his life.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I didn't know where he was going that night.
- 4:06Speaker 3: It was just you know, strolled to clear his mind.
- 4:09Speaker 3: And yeah, it's crazy how it happened. I was told
- 4:15Speaker 3: if if that didn't happen exactly, you know, in that
- 4:19Speaker 3: chain of events, he would not have made it. He's
- 4:23Speaker 3: pretty banged up. He has nineteen broken bones and they're
- 4:27Speaker 3: broken in multiple.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Places and that pain must be unbelievably bad to have
- 4:36Speaker 1: that many broken bones.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Yeah, so his left side is just destroyed. But everything
- 4:45Speaker 3: is going to heal, and his brain is going to heal. Unfortunately,
- 4:50Speaker 3: he has the memory loss right now. So our kids
- 4:54Speaker 3: are thirteen and fifteen and he thinks they're two and
- 4:57Speaker 3: five right now, which, okay, that's slowly going to you know,
- 5:05Speaker 3: go back. And he knows who I am. I've been
- 5:08Speaker 3: with him for eighteen years now, so he knows who
- 5:12Speaker 3: I am. He knows his mom, and he knows the
- 5:15Speaker 3: names of our kids.
- 5:17Speaker 2: That's great. How do you know that it was donkeys?
- 5:21Speaker 3: So I had an insurance ad. Just your friend go
- 5:23Speaker 3: out there and kind of go out there in the
- 5:26Speaker 3: daytime because the cops did their investigation that night. There
- 5:30Speaker 3: was no swerve marks or anything like that. We were
- 5:33Speaker 3: trying to get to the bottom of what happened, and
- 5:36Speaker 3: he said that the donkey prince were fresh, and how
- 5:40Speaker 3: they led into the road, and how his bike marks
- 5:45Speaker 3: went to the other side of the road. He would
- 5:47Speaker 3: put money on it that that is what happened.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Makes sense. Well, well, thank you for taking the time
- 5:53Speaker 2: to call us. Thank you so much.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Of course, is there any more questions I can answer?
- 6:00Speaker 2: Is there anything you do? You guys have everything you need.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Well, we did start a gofund me if anybody can
- 6:07Speaker 3: help out. We started our own business seven months ago.
- 6:12Speaker 3: We put everything into it and unfortunately he's no longer
- 6:16Speaker 3: going to do that line of work. He's the provider
- 6:21Speaker 3: of our family. So if anybody could help out during
- 6:23Speaker 3: this time, me and my boys and DestinE, I'm sure
- 6:27Speaker 3: would greatly appreciate anything.
