Martin Lloyd became a comedian and motivational speaker after losing leg in head on crash.
FALLBROOK, Calif. — A former Royal Air Force aviator says sometimes life is so cruel, all you can do is laugh. In this Zevely Zone, I went to Fallbrook to meet the pilot with the punchlines. When tragedy struckHe faced his challenge with laughter. In 1998, Martin, a pilot for British Airways, was taking a ride on his motorcycle when an oncoming driver, asleep at the wheel hit him head on."I broke 45 bones and died twice," said Martin.
"I may not walk, I may not drive but I am going to fly again," Martin promised himself. He moved to San Diego and became a flight instructor for people with disabilities."This is Searching for the Summer; that's my book about my story," said Martin. Along with writing a book Martin also became a motivational speaker with a promise to himself to fly again.
This is from a man whose wife left him after he lost his leg."She said I can't be pushing you around in a wheelchair when I am eighty," said Martin.But if anyone can recover from a crash, it's Martin."This is Negar," said Martin. He's flying high again, after meeting the love of his life."He is a survivor and he is a good person," said his wife Negar.
