Vernon’s Gabe Kibblewhite, 14,is making an amazing recovery from serious injuries, including multiple skull fractures, after being struck by a vehicle riding his scooter on Friday, July 28. Kibblewhite is now recuperating at home. (Facebook photo)

Gabe Kibblewhite is cracking jokes. He’s missing a chunk of his hair. He’s had some fun with visiting nursing students. He expects to be playing baseball again as early as next week (HE expects that. Won’t happen as he’s on the injured list for at least six months).

And, like a lot of 14-year-olds, he’s starving.

What’s remarkable about the Vernon teen is Kibblewhite is doing all this less than a week after being severely injured when hit by a vehicle in a city crosswalk.
