A Narrow escape from death

While riding in the early morning, a speeding black car hit Steve on Chandler Boulevard's cycling lane as he prepared to turn left onto 21st Street. The passing pastor helped Steve, who was unconscious, and called for help.

The Veteran sustained brutal injuries

The accident severely affected Elwell, resulting in a significant concussion, five broken ribs, a massive hematoma on his left hip, and various cuts and scratches. While his physical injuries are improving, he still faces challenges, as he said, "...but to be concussed is a whole different story.”
