Although his companion's injuries were less serious, Leonard sustained a traumatic brain injury and has since undergone multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitative therapy.

Last week, on May 3, just a little over five months after the life-changing incident, Creed was released from Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and taken to his family's new residence in the Boston suburb of North Attleboro.
