RICHMOND, Va. — A Spring Break cruise turned into a nightmare for a group of Virginia Commonwealth University students when a crash left a 21-year-old with a life-altering injury.
Last week, 21-year-old Ethan Overby and a friend were hit by a bus while riding a rented moped around the city of Cozumel, Mexico. The crash happened just two days before the group was scheduled to set sail back to the United States.
Overby had his leg amputated from the collision and is still in the hospital recovering.
“In the middle of the street, unfortunately, was Ethan, and his leg was not very close to his body,” Tyler Seeley said.
