NANCY, Ky. (WKYT) - A southern Kentucky man remains hospitalized more than two weeks after police say a driver struck him while he was changing a flat tire and fled the scene.

Coy Cahall, 19, was seriously injured Oct. 14 on the Cumberland Parkway in Pulaski County. Police say both Cahall and his fiancé were outside their car changing the tire when a driver hit them.

The incident happened about 11:30 a.m. that day. Relatives said Cahall was able to push his fiancé out of the way but was then hit himself. They don’t know if it was a car or a truck, and no good description was available.

Cahall is still at UK Hospital and had another surgery Thursday. When he is released from the hospital, he will require rehabilitation.
