The wife of a man who was struck by an alleged drunk driver on Allen Road earlier this month says 'one decision altered the course of our life.'
Nearly two weeks after he was struck by an alleged drunk driver while working on a construction site on Allen Road, Graeme Reed was back in the operating room for the third time.
His wife Taylor said doctors were repairing fractures on his right knee and fibular head and the four damaged ligaments. They are some of the multiple injuries her husband sustained in the Feb. 10 collision.
Reed also suffered five broken ribs, a lumbar spine fracture, punctured lungs, multiple pelvis fractures, hip fracture as well as a concussion and an eye wound.
"These surgeries are what's getting us like out of the woods of clearing his fractures," Taylor said.
It is unclear how many more surgeries her husband needs to go through, but what Taylor knows is that it will be a long road to recovery.
"I'm just really angry," Taylor said in an interview with CP24.com this week. "(The driver) took away his livelihood, his dignity, his value of life."
