Ryan Brodziak was going for a walk in his Sherwood Park neighbourhood with his 11-month-old son Ozzy and their dog Gouda when the crash happened.
An outpouring of support grows for a Sherwood Park family after a collision earlier this week sent an Edmonton restaurateur and his baby to hospital.
Ryan Brodziak was going for a walk in his neighbourhood of Glen Allan on Tuesday with his 11-month-old son Ozzy and his pet dog Gouda when the crash happened.
Strathcona County RCMP said a vehicle travelling north on Georgian Way collided with two pedestrians and a pet on the sidewalk.
“A 36-year-old male and an 11-month-old child were transported to the hospital with serious injuries, while their dog received minor injuries and was taken to the vet,” the police statement read.
The vehicle came to a stop on a front lawn and the driver was not injured, investigators added.
A GoFundMe set up for the family said Brodziak is in the ICU suffering a significant spinal cord injury while Ozzy has a skull fracture and broken arm and is in the Stollery. Gouda has been released from the emergency vet.
“Now, Ryan, his wife Bailey, their baby Ozzy, and Gouda need our help. Regardless of the long term prognosis, the road to recovery will be long and challenging for the Brodziak family,” the fundraiser said.
An update on Friday saying it was on behalf of Ryan’s wife Bailey said he was out of surgery and has not regained any mobility, and his prognosis remains uncertain. Their son was healing well and would be discharged from the Edmonton children’s hospital soon, it said.
