ST. GEORGE — Crue "Tuff" Cash was run over by a car but is hard-pressed to let that slow him down. His family is moving toward a new normal, with plans to celebrate Pioneer Day with the community at the Washington parade.

Cash was hit by a car in April and spent two months recovering at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, St. George News previously reported. Doctors did not initially believe he would survive.

He returned home in June to a community that rallied around him, holding up colorful signs on the side of the road as a parade planned in his honor passed by.

Since then, Cash and his family have been adapting to their new normal, which has not always been easy, his mother, Kady Hill, told St. George News.
