Horrifying dash cam footage captured the moment an alleged drunk driver hit a postal worker, breaking his neck and leaving him permanently disabled.
Andy Brown, 60, was traveling on Adelaide’s Anzac Highway on a motorcycle when a woman in a van hit him at 7:36pm on October 29, 2022.
The woman, who had two children in the car at the time, allegedly fled the scene without seeing Mr. Brown, who was left lying in the road.
Eighteen months later, he is still in rehab and doctors have told him he will likely never recover from his injuries.
South Australian police allege the woman had more than three times the blood alcohol limit at the time.
Andy Brown, 60, was hit by a suspected drunk driver while riding a motorcycle on the Anzac Highway in Adelaide in 2022.
Brown had to quit his job after the accident and fears he will never be able to ride a motorcycle again.
‘[She] It hit me at 60km an hour, I hadn’t braked, it just slammed into the back of my bike and then roared away. [and] They left me for dead in the middle of the road’, he told 9News.
His partner Chantal Elsworthy said she thought Brown was dead when she was told what happened.
“When I got the call, I thought he was dead. “He went over her head and his chest and he was dead,” he said.
The incident broke Mr Brown’s neck and left him permanently disabled.
Brown spent weeks in the Royal Adelaide Hospital before being transferred to Flinders Medical Center for rehabilitation.
He still has trouble walking and worries that after 40 years as an avid motorcycle lover, he will never be able to ride one again.
The woman who ran him over will appear in court in April.
