Man known for his positive spirit reclaims the corner where his life nearly ended

Brad Fritz returned to the corner at Turkeyfoot Road and College Park Drive, months after a July crash that nearly killed him, according to WLWT News Five.
In 1999, Fritz first suffered a life-changing crash causing a traumatic brain injury, and in July, police say 63-year-old James McIliguddy struck him while driving drunk.
As a familiar Northern Kentucky face, Brad Fritz speaks at schools about perseverance and drinking-and-driving dangers, and during the COVID-19 pandemic he stood on the Turkeyfoot Road corner waving at drivers.
After more than a month in hospital, Brad Fritz recovered and returned, inspiring drivers and community members with his message about drinking and driving.
Twice surviving traumatic crashes, Brad Fritz has beaten the odds and now reclaims the Turkeyfoot corner as symbol of hope with a long-term intent to keep waving.
