A “miracle” motorcycle cop who was “internally decapitated” in a violent wreck during a funeral procession was released from a Long Island hospital Thursday — with 200 cops cheering him on.
Michael Hyland, 53, who was nearly killed when his Harley-Davidson motorcycle collided with a Toyota Tundra in Lindenhurst during the Oct. 6 procession, is lucky to even be alive, his doctor told reporters.
“When I say he was broken from head-to-toe, I am being extremely literal,” Dr. James Vosswinkel said. “Mike hit so hard that he separated his spine from the skull — what we call an internal decapitation — which is usually fatal.
“For someone to sustain those injuries at his age and survive — it’s truly incredible,” Vosswinkel said.
Hyland was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip follow
