25-year old Hamilton man in hospital after sustaining multiple injuries in a motorcycle accident

First Published:

Cody Wood suffered numerous injuries in a motorcycle accident in the east end of downtown Hamilton.

Cody was heading westbound on King Street when he lost control around the lights, eventually crashing into a parking meter which has been dislodged from its foundation.

Cody’s list of injuries is substantial. He has multiple fractures throughout both legs, dislocated knee, torn ligaments, a wrist fracture, and an aortic tear.

His family says that what doctors have found so far he’s already had nine hours of surgery on his legs alone. When he was a child, his aunt says he was rambunctious, hyper, and a go-getter. Cody’s son Noah is 5-years old.

Cody is conscious but in a lot of pain. Doctors say that his rehabilitation could take years and that he’ll have to relearn how to walk.
