HARRISON, WI (WTAQ) – 13-year-old Henry Schinke from Harrison is back home after spending more than a month in hospitals.
Henry was riding his bike on August 19 when a drunk driver on a motorcycle struck him.
“I think like the next day was when I found out I was in the hospital and I was surprised,” he says.
Henry broke six bones, his pelvis, and sustained injuries to his liver, kidneys, and neck.
He’s spent over a month in between various hospitals and rehabilitation centers, but thankfully Henry is now back home with his family.
“It’s really nice. I’m really grateful,” says Henry.
He’ll have to continue with rehab work, but soon enough he’ll be walking without crutches again.
Codi Miller, the driver of the motorcycle, currently faces seven charges in Outagamie County including killing someone while driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
His passenger, 53-year-old Kim Anderson, died after being thrown off the motorcycle.
Miller will be back in court in January.
