A veteran Huntsville firefighter is at home recovering after spending weeks in the hospital. Kevin Cassady suffered serious injuries in a car accident while out riding his motorcycle.
Last month, Cassady, Huntsville’s oldest firefighter, found himself on the other side of things being treated by first responders. A van turned in front of his motorcycle at the intersection of Andrew Jackson Way and Oakwood Avenue. The impact forced him up onto the roof of the van.
"It flipped him into the windshield over on top of the van and that's where he landed. He received two broken wrists, a dislocated shoulder, five ribs broken on one side, four on the other, his pelvis was completely crushed and had to be reconstructed. He has a broken foot," explained Steve Wilson, Cassady's brother-in-law.
