September 23, 2022, a South Korean cyclist who had become a YouTube sensation with an impressive 71 2K subscribers encountered a tragic accident. He was heading back home, when a massive 5-ton truck careened across the 2nd lane and crushed the cyclist. According to his blog, the cyclist was conscious but unable to breathe. It seemed like death was imminent, but in a miraculous turn of events, rescuers managed to lift the truck off of him and save his life.
The cyclist was then loaded onto a helicopter and taken to a nearby hospital, where he was examined and found to have sustained a number of injuries, including abrasions, fractures to the brow bones, microfractures in three vertebrae, and open fractures in the lower left knee and ankle. Luckily, due to the quick response of the rescuers, the cyclist was able to make a full recovery, and he was discharged from the hospital only a few days later.
Thankfully, the cyclist managed to survive the incident despite its severity, though it was a traumatic experience for him. Early the next morning, immediate surgery was performed on him to assess the extent of the injury. The doctors determined that a below-knee amputation was necessary and so, a few days later, his left knee was amputated. When he later looked at a picture of the accident, he was shocked to see how far the damage had extended, from below his knee to the top of his toe.
Fortunately, he is now on the road to recovery, receiving the treatment he needs to help him rehabilitate. He is being provided with the necessary support and guidance to help him adjust to his new circumstances, including physical and mental therapy. He is also undergoing prosthetics training to help him gain back some of his mobility. Even though the accident was a difficult experience, he is now determined to make the most of life and is grateful for the help he is receiving.
