WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — We're learning more about the man who was hit on Maplewood Avenue earlier this week.
His mother is now speaking out as he remains hospitalized with serious injuries.
Juanita Pecot said her son, Chance Pecot, was headed to work but unfortunately ended up in a hospital bed fighting through multiple traumatic injuries.
Juanita said he had just stepped off the bus and walked around the front as usual, but what happened next left him unconscious on the pavement.
He had just stepped off the city bus Monday morning when the side mirror of a passing box truck struck him.
The impact caused multiple skull fractures, cracked ribs, and damage to his spine. Doctors at United Regional have kept him heavily sedated, but his mother says he's stable and slowly improving.
For now, the family is focused on his recovery, one small step at a time. His mother said Chase is a loving young man who has never met a stranger.
'He is such an amazing man. He has Asperger's. That being said, he it's supposed to be a social disorder. And he has to be the most social butterfly you'll ever meet. He makes an impression wherever he goes,' Juanita Pecot said.
Chase has even recently gotten baptized, and his church is behind him and the family every step of the way. Heritage Church even held a blood drive today in his honor.
As Chase embarks on his journey of recovery, his family remains hopeful and thankful.
