MINNEAPOLIS - It's an emotional time for the family of John Byro.

"It's been a rough week," said Dave Byro, John's father. "It's serious, but the doctors don't know John. He's a fighter."

John, a 29-year old Iraq war veteran, was riding his motorcycle near Gaylord, MN when he collided with a vehicle at the intersection of Highway 5 and Highway 19. The incident left John lying in the middle of the road while the other vehicle sped off.

"No parent should have their son or daughter left in the highway," says Dave. "I mean people gotta care more than that."
