Man Who Fell From 4th Floor Of NH Garage Survives

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) ― A Nashua, New Hampshire, man who fell four stories from a parking garage last month says he's not lucky, he's blessed.

Twenty-eight-year-old Leon Belesca suffered a punctured lung and broken hip, ribs and eye socket when he crashed his motorcycle into a concrete wall and fell from the top of the garage. He was in and out of a coma for four days after the accident, but his doctors say he'll be able to walk in a matter of weeks.

Belesca doesn't remember the crash. He says when people tell him he's lucky to have survived, he corrects them and says he's blessed.
