A central Massachusetts man nearly lost his life in a motorcycle after swerving off the road to avoid hitting a deer.
Shawn "Bundy" Lowe told his story of survival to Boston 25 News after spending eight days in the hospital. Lowe is now at a Worcester Rehab Facility, with scars to recount a horrifying experience.
Last month, 48-year-old Lowe was riding his Harley-Davidson bike home from a friend's house when he says a deer ran out n front of him on Route 140 in Sterling.
He says the last thing he remembers is swerving to avoid it.
"When i came to, I was sitting up and I had no idea where I was, I was looking around and it was pitch black," said Lowe. "It was like a movie for me trying to get out of there."
Pieces of Lowe's bike could be found on at the crash site days after the incident.
Unable to walk, Lowe was forced to crawl his way out of the embankment onto the road. Lowe says the first couple of cars that passed by never stopped to help.
"A car went by me the different direction and I remember seeing him swing around come back at me and gratefully it was an EMT," said Lowe.
Lowe was lucky to be found by an off-duty EMT driving by who then rushed the father of two to a Worcester hospital.
Doctors say it'll be another six months at least until Lowe is able to function normally again.
"It was an accident, that’s the way I look at, I’ll definitely get back on a bike," said Lowe.
