BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA (FOX 35) – A Palm Bay man is recovering after he lost half his skull when he fell off his electric skateboard.
Matt Adkins is receiving care at Holmes Regional in Melbourne as doctors try to reduce the swelling in his brain. His mom, Lisa, has been by his side since day one and wants other parents to know how fast someone’s life can change and why helmets are vital.
The accident happened near Willis Street when Matt was riding his skateboard on the sidewalk to a basketball game. Unfortunately, he never made it.
“He’s a survivor. I didn’t think he was going to make it,” said Matt’s mom, Lisa, who remembers telling her son she loved him before he left around 8:30 a.m. nearly four weeks ago.
