Senior Struck By Vehicle Dies
Filed Under: Local
My sincere condolences to the family of Joseph La Spina who passed away early this morning after asking doctors to be taken off life support.
The 83-year-old grandfather/great-grandfather was gravely injured Feb 03 when he was struck by a vehicle while on his way to a grocery store. Mr. La Spina was walking north on Kenaston Blvd when a van stopped for him to cross a lane leading into a condo complex. The stopped van was suddenly rear-ended by another vehicle sending him flying into the air. The resulting injuries left him paralyzed from the neck down. Last week he refused a tracheotomy that would have helped him to breathe and asked doctors to remove him from the ventilator he was hooked up to.
A sad story indeed.
