On Saturday, August 8th, volunteers with the Lebanon Rescue Department presented 7 year old Riley Franz of Evergreen Lane in South Lebanon with a new bicycle and helmet thanks to the rescue volunteers and a neighbor chipping in to buy the bicycle.
Riley was riding his bicycle when he was allegedly hit head on by a four wheeler on Evergreen Lane. The four wheeler landed on top of Riley, and his dad and neighbors had to lift the four wheeler off of Riley to get him help. The dad watched the entire accident unfold and told rescue workers it was the scariest thing he had ever seen and he felt so powerless at the time. Riley showed signs of possible serious internal injuries and was brought to Goodall Hospital by Lebanon Ambulance and then transferred to the Trauma Center at Maine Medical by Life Flight Helicopter.
Riley has made an amazing recovery but has some small scars to show and remind him of the accident.
