Tuesday night he was running an errand in his car on Speer Boulevard near Corona Street in Denver when his life nearly changed forever.

Just then he heard some people screaming at him.

"One of the guys sticks his arm through the window and says, 'can you see my arm?' And I'm like, 'yeah.' He and another guy pull me out through the window," Fallon said.

The person who hit him was driving a minivan and abruptly took off running when the vehicle came to a stop. Police are still investigating and haven't made any arrests.
