A West Melbourne man is now speaking out after a hit-and-run accident that left him fighting for his life. John Powell was critically injured when a vehicle struck him while he was on his motorcycle earlier this month. The driver, Rebekah Tate, fled the scene but was later arrested. Powell, who remains hospitalized and may lose part of his leg, expressed his gratitude to a Good Samaritan who helped him. He also shared his frustration, questioning why Tate left him injured on the road. Powell’s recovery will be long and costly, and now a GoFundMe has been set up to aid with expenses.
