On Thursday, He was indicted on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, assault and battery on a person 60 or older causing bodily injury, assault and battery on a person 60 or older causing bodily injury, leaving the scene of property damage, leaving the scene of personal injury, leaving the scene of personal injury, operating uninsured motor vehicle, attaching plates to conceal ID, operating with a suspended license, and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

Dave underwent three surgeries on his leg to save the appendage and Sandy spent weeks in the hospital, including many days spent on life support.

Boston 25 Reporter Bob Ward was with David when he heard Sandy’s voice for the first time since the crash.

A friend has set up a GoFundMe account to help the Fitches recover without the burden of medical bills.
