TULSA, Okla. — Nearly eight months after being in the ICU after a motorcycle crash an Oklahoma Highway Patrol captain completed the Route 66 half Marathon.
A car making an improper turn hit Captain Jack Choate as he rode motorcycle on Brookside. The crash left Choate with a crushed pelvis according to OHP.
Surgeons reconstructed his pelvis, but the fight just started. Following a week long ICU stay, he spent an additional week at a rehab facility. Nearly a month and a half later he returned to work doing light duty while completing physical therapy. On June 30, almost four months after the crash, he returned to full duty.
On November 19, Choate ran and completed the Route 66 half marathon, that is 13.1 miles. OHP congratulated him on Facebook.
