Meet Matthew Cheatham. Six months ago, Cheatham nearly lost his life when a tree fell on his car and impaled him in the chest. On May 29, at the 106th Indy 500, he will be the honorary green flag deliverer, arriving at the track by IU Health Lifeline.
INDIANAPOLIS — We are less than two weeks away from the 'Great Spectacle in Racing' in Speedway. One of the race’s most prized traditions will be carried out by a man who nearly lost his life six months ago.When the husband and dad of two from Illinois referred to “here” — he means Indianapolis and specifically IU Health Methodist Hospital.
“I’m here. I’ve been told by different doctors that less than 5% of people survive from this,” Cheatham said. “To see that he’s still kicking and living life makes it all that much more enjoyable,” Chapman said. Associate Professor of Surgery at IU School of Medicine, Dr. Peter Jenkins was responsible for reconstructing Cheatham’s chest. The dad of two now lives with metal plates and fake ribs, but he is back to work and back to living his normal life.The surgeon added the tree was centimeters from Cheatham’s heart.
