Jeremy Jensen still recalls the day when he had just left church and was on his way home when his life changed.

Jensen, a McAllen firefighter, was on his motorcycle on June 8 when he was hit by a truck at the intersection of Ware Road and Dove Avenue.

“I actually saw the truck coming southbound going to the turning lane, he looked like he was slowing down, like he was going to wait for traffic to cross before he turned,” Jensen recalled. “And he turned right into me.

Jensen was hit from the side, his body landing on a ditch outside a Valero gas station at the intersection.

“Immediately I knew my hips were broken,” Jensen said. “All I felt was just these high intensive levels of pain."
