Zacary Andregic

We are writing today as the family of Zacary Andregic in order to clarify the basic facts about his condition and situation.

On the evening of October 14, 2022, Zac was leaving Duke’s Bar and Grill in Wormleysburg, PA after watching the conclusion of the Philadelphia Phillies 9-1 game 3 divisional series victory over the Atlanta Braves. He lives a few blocks up the street, so walking to and from various local establishments is a regular occurrence. Upon leaving the bar on foot he was struck by a motorcyclist fleeing a traffic stop at an extremely high rate of speed. His injuries were life altering. It is indeed a miracle that he is alive. He suffered a traumatic left leg amputation on impact . Since being saved by the heroic staff at Holy Spirit Hospital and all the first responders involved, he has had 5 surgeries related to his physical recovery, with another looming. In addition to losing his left leg he has suffered the following: right femur shattered, right hand fractured, nose broken, chipped teeth, abrasions, bruises, cuts, and traumatic shock including memory loss. He was and is being treated at Holy Spirit Hospital in Camp Hill. Needless to say, he will need extensive and costly ongoing medical care. Right now, the family is working to support all of the various lifestyle adjustments needed such as equipping all of his living spaces to accommodate both his temporary and permanent injuries.

We as a family wanted to clarify events, as confusion has swirled around this tragedy partially due to our generally limited use of social media and Zac’s lack of social media presence entirely. We also wanted to express gratitude to everyone who has reached out to ask what they can do, offer help in any way, and the many many many people who have added Zac to their prayers.

No one ever wants to go through this or see a loved one go through this, but we assure you Zac is a fighter whose grit and determination to recover are helping us all stay positive as we walk through the worst days of our lives this past week. Zac has been inspirational throughout the process so far and if you want to show your support in the form of donation for his lifelong, extensive, complex and ongoing medical costs please do so here. Thank you.

Thank you all so much for the rapid outpouring of love and support. Zac is extremely appreciative and overwhelmed by the response. We will keep you posted on his status.
