A Canada Post worker who says he was run over and left in a pool of blood is recovering in hospital.
Greg Mady suffered a broken knee and three compound fractures in his right leg and one in his left.
Mady said he was working his regular postal route near 127th Avenue Thursday when he stepped out of his postal truck to make deliveries and was hit by a vehicle he never saw.
He woke up on the ground not able to feel his legs, with crowd of people standing around him, his blood frozen to the pavement.
“I just woke up on the street,” he said. “I got moved to the hospital. Everything is kind of a blur.”
He doesn’t remember the vehicle hitting him, but he was told the the driver left the scene.
“The person behind the driver that hit me saw that person put on their brakes and signals,” he said. “They thought that this person was going to stop, because that’s what people do.”
He said he wants the driver to take responsibility for what happened.
“It makes the healing process a lot more difficult,” he said. “While they can stick rods into my legs, as of right now they can’t give me any answers.”
Mady is expecting to be released from hospital in a week, but there’s still a tough six-month recovery ahead.
While police have not released any information on the incident, Mady said police are still looking for the driver.
Police are hoping there might be surveillance video from nearby businesses, he said.
