Employee Struck by SUV at Weymouth Gas Station is Brain Dead, Daughter Says - NBC10 Boston

A Massachusetts gas station employee who was struck by an SUV is brain dead, his daughter tells NBC10 Boston.

Juanita Hamade says it would take a complete miracle from God for her dad to recover. She adds that her family is hoping her dad holds on long enough for the entire family to arrive in Weymouth to say goodbye. Hamade’s brother, who is in the military, was in Africa when the incident happened and he is on his way back to Massachusetts, hoping to arrive Wednesday, she says.

Those who know the victim are struggling with the sudden turn of events.

Surveillance video shows the moments before the 64-year-old Mobil employee was struck at his job Monday night in Weymouth.

He was taken to South Shore Hospital, where he remains in critical condition, according to his boss.

Dave Tattlebaum and his dog Makita were at the Mobil Monday night and witnessed the crash.

“It’s heartbreaking,” he said. “I was there. I saw the whole thing from stop to go.”

Tattlebaum rushed over to help, alongside a team of paramedics and firefighters, too.

“I said, ‘Mike, can you hear me, can you hear me?’ And he didn't move, didn't say a word,” said Tattlebaum. “I'm not feeling good at all, I just, down in the dumps, ya know.”

Back in January, this same clerk was brutally attacked inside the Mobil gas station. During that incident, he was pistol whipped as he defended himself from three robbers.

He returned to work the very next day.

“I've known him for 20 years, and just a great guy,” Tattlebaum said.

The woman driving the SUV did stay on the scene. The manager says she was dropping her SUV off to be serviced when the crash happened.

Investigators were back at the gas station Tuesday, and the incident remains under investigation.
