(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - On April 4, Nick Placke suffered an injury involving his work vehicle rolling.
His face was pinned between the tire and concrete, leaving him with several facial fractures including a broken jaw.
Placke is a graduate of East Central High School and an Army veteran. He is currently employed with Sweet Life Heating and Cooling.
