Months after falling 40 feet from an overpass, a Farmington man is on track to do something extraordinary this weekend.
Hayden Gurman laced up his sneakers and got in a quick stretch Thursday as he prepared for one final run ahead of this weekend's marathon.
During his run that took him along a bridge over Interstate 15 on West Glovers Lane, Gurman tried to climb over a barricade to get out of the way of traffic, believing there was a sidewalk on the other side; but there wasn't, which led to fall 40 feet to the ground below.Ten of those days found Gurman in a coma as the fall left him with extensive injuries.
"I didn't start walking until November, middle of November, like with a walker, before then I was just crawling around in a wheelchair," he said."Around January is when I stopped walking with a cane.""It was January 9, that was my first day; I was like, 'I'm going to do it,'" said Gurman.
