Fundraiser Set For Tulsa Police Officer Hurt In Motorcycle Wreck

A Tulsa police officer is just now able to stand again after being in a near fatal motorcycle wreck in August when he was off duty.

Troopers say a driver pulled out in front of Corporal Aaron McPherson. He doesn't remember it because he was in a coma for two weeks.

He broke bones in his leg, jaw, pelvis, both wrists and had a collapsed lung.

"Extremely hard. I'm used to being a big, physical guy. I'm not used to hobbling to the bathroom," he said.

He's facing an eighth surgery and a $400,000 hospital bill and has used up his paid days of leave. Friends and fellow officers have organized a poker run this weekend to help pay his medical bills.
