“Police arrived, and they asked me to stay for medical aid, but I didn’t think it was anything too severe,” he told FOX 11. “I started sweating a lot, started feeling dizzy as I was driving.”

Despite sustaining major injuries and ending up in the hospital with a collapsed lung and internal bleeding, Tecum is expected to make a full recovery.

“I wouldn’t ever like for something like that to happen to one of my relatives or to my mom. I would hope somebody would step in,” he said.
