ST. GEORGE — Creed Leonard, the 20-year-old missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who was critically injured when he was hit by a vehicle in the Boston area last fall, continues to make progress in his recovery.
As previously reported, Leonard and his mission companion were both struck by a car while they were crossing a street in a crosswalk on the night of Nov. 30, 2022. Although his companion's injuries were less serious, Leonard sustained a traumatic brain injury and has since undergone multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitative therapy.
Last week, on May 3, just a little over five months after the life-changing incident, Creed was released from Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and taken to his family's new residence in the Boston suburb of North Attleboro.
"Although it's a new home, it's home to him," said Chad Waggoner, Creed's father.
