Calvin Carr’s ribs remain tender and he still wants an apology and a new bike from the City of Saskatoon.

Carr, 20, was severely injured when he was hit and then rolled over by a city patching truck in June while walking his bicycle.

The city announced Friday a Crown prosecutor recommended no charges be laid against the operator of the truck following a police investigation and legal review. The truck operator returned to duty later in June.

“It’s kind of messed up,” Carr said in an interview Sunday. “In a way it’s fair, but in another way it’s not.”

Carr said he’s still not fully recovered from the incident. In addition to cracked and fractured ribs, Carr suffered a small hole in his lungs, a damaged spleen, a dislocated knee and lost a testicle.

Carr was walking his bike in a crosswalk at the intersection of Idylwyld Drive and 29th Street on June 1 when he was struck by the city truck. He said we was walking his bike because the tires were flat.
