Aug. 14 is the day Steve Maty almost lost his life; he was in a motorcycle accident near the intersection of Holland and Smith Road in Brook Park.
“[My partner] and I, we were just going about our day, running some errands together and then she was helping me put out garage sale signs that day. We made a couple of stops and we proceeded to start placing our garage sale signs. She was driving. I was in the passenger’s, seat and she just started screaming. ‘Oh my God! Oh my God.’ As she was stating that, I happened to catch the point of impact of the accident,” David Marflack Jr. told News 5.
Marflack Jr. said he then watched as Maty was hit by a vehicle.
“Steve was blindsided. [He] flipped over and got dragged approximately 75 feet,” he recalled.
Maty’s motorcycle was totaled. And Maty’s left leg was nearly severed.
Marflack Jr. said he immediately called 911 and then hopped into action.
“Everything just went into super slow motion, but I was moving as fast as I physically could,” Marflack Jr. added.
