Family of John Young, critically injured when he was hit by a car on Cedar Springs Road on June 22, are asking that anyone with information contact them.
A private investigator and family members of the victim are looking for anyone who witnessed the accident in the 4500 block of Cedar Springs Road about 4:15 p.m. on Friday, June 22, that left a pedestrian critically injured. John Villareal, a private investigator who also happens to be the brother-in-law of of the victim, John Young, asked that anyone who saw the accident, was there in the aftermath or who has any information please call him at 214-596-1585.
Villareal said Thursday, July 5, that Young remains in ICU at Parkland Hospital and has not yet regained consciousness. He said doctors there have put a metal rod in Young’s right leg, which was badly broken, and that Young’s right arm was shattered in the impact. He also suffered a severe head injury, and Villareal said doctors so far do not know the extent of the damage to Young’s brain.
Villareal said that in recent days, Young has shown some movement in his left arm and left leg, and that family see that as a positive sign.
Witness Cody Fletcher, who let Dallas Voice publish his photos of the scene after the accident, said that Young was on the sidewalk waiting to cross the road, and then ran into the traffic, and was then struck by a gray convertible traveling southeast on Cedar Springs.
