A beloved Kentucky man, known for waving at passing cars from his wheelchair, is fighting for his life after being struck by an alleged drunk driver — nearly 30 years after a similar crash left him disabled.
Brad Fritz, affectionately known as the “Wheelchair Waver,” was hospitalized Tuesday night with life-threatening injuries after he was hit by a pickup truck at the same Edgewood intersection where he often sits and cheerfully gestures to travelers on the road, according to local reports.
The 41-year-old’s family said he suffered an “extensive list of injuries,” including multiple skull fractures, a collapsed lung, a fractured pelvis, numerous broken ribs and a broken arm that surgeons needed to rebuild with rods, plates and screws.
