Smithfield, N.C. Bailey Rhodes is spending his Christmas recovering from a crash that could have killed him.
The 21-year-old was unloading cars from a tractor-trailer on South Wilmington Street in Raleigh last month when a car hit him at a speed of about 45 mph. He was knocked out, unconscious, Rhodes father, Jamie, said. It threw it him about 25 feet.
Bailey Rhodes said he doesn t remember anything that happened. He broke his back, arms and lost his leg. His injures were so severe that he had to spend a month at WakeMed and have eight surgeries.
