"Holding a tourniquet on his leg, he told them they needed to come to California — and soon. Schoonover, who was pursuing a master’s in vocal performance at UCLA, had been driving his motorcycle to the final dress rehearsal of an opera he was performing in when he was involved in a crash.
“'When I was on the freeway and I saw my leg, I was like, ‘I’m never walking on that again,’ he told the Deseret News. 'When I woke up that next morning, actually, I couldn’t feel my leg, and I thought they had amputated it.
