Four Wheeler Accident

Cody and Dustin Edgell were in an atv accident about two weeks ago. At first it didnt seem that bad but alot people dont know the seriousness in it. They were crossing 541 and was hit by a full size truck going about 65 miles an hour. The four wheeler was thrown 250 feet down the road, Dustin was ran over by the truck, and Cody was thrown 100 feet over the guardrail. They were both life flighted to Akron City Hospital. The doctors said they didnt think they were going to be able to use there right legs because that is what took most of the impact. Cody suffered a broken foot, ankle, leg, two pucntured lugs, and a broken arm, and all ribs were broken, but after three surgerys is doing fine and will be able to use his leg. Dustin suffered a broken leg, foot, ankle, arm, wrist, every bone in his face, every rib, two punctured lungs, and some internal organs were puntured.He has had three surgerys and is getting his last two today. The good news is they will both make a full recovery. Bad news is Cody doesnt have isuranse and the cost of everythong just for him so far is well above 100,000 dollars.

  3. That's sad to hear. Hopefully the community will step up and try to help the family out with the money. I know they do a lot of different benefits if the community is willing to give.
