Description
It's been nearly six weeks since life took a turn for a 27-year-old star athlete.
Hours after the community in North Port rallied around Luis Zubiaga. The soccer player lucky to still be alive after a single motorcycle crash left doctors with no choice but to amputate his right leg. Zubiaga crashed his motorcycle on October 14th on U.S. Hwy 41 in Charlotte County when he was headed home.
"I'm very blessed to be alive. I thank God for giving me another chance because if not I couldn't be doing this interview," Zubiaga said while speaking exclusively to Angelina Salcedo Wednesday evening.
We first shared his story with you last month. Since then his resiliency, strength and faith have gotten him through some of his toughest moments.
Wednesday was exactly a month to the day since he was discharged from Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Talking about what happened for the first time, Luis said he got his sutures removed just yesterday. The soccer star is getting used to his new normal, hoping one day he'll be back on the field again.
