Bridgeport DJ Logan Bay’s life forever changed in a moment while he was unloading his car two weeks ago in Chicago. Bay, a 30 year old man, who works for the radio station WLPN was hit by car in the 2900 block of South Archer and pinned, crushing his legs.

“A car pulled up behind him and stopped and he thought, ‘OK, I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing,’” said Bay’s friend and colleague Ed Marszewski. “And the next thing you know the car accelerated into him and pinned him against his car.”

Bay underwent four surgeries and also the doctors had to amputate his left foot and his right leg up to the knee. According to the police report, driver of the vehicle that struck him was cited for failure to reduce the speed and improper lane usage.

For the prolific Bridgeport DJ, it was the difficult medical catastrophe, but he has kept his spirits up and continued the programming work from his hospital bed.

“A few days after his first surgery, while he was reducing his medication, he immediately started going on to his laptop to start scheduling and working on the radio station,” said Marszewski.

On Friday, Bay posted the status of  his recovery on Facebook.

Marszewski has set up a YouCaring crowdfunding campaign to help Bay in covering medical expenses. As of Wednesday, the page had raised more than $43,000.

“It makes me want to cry actually, how many people around the world know who Logan is and contributed to help this guy. He’s the sweetest guy on Earth and it’s really beautiful to see that people care about other humans,” said Marszewski.

Bay remained in the hospital on Wednesday recovering from another surgery.
