12-year-old Parker Anderson is recovering after a critical e-bike accident left him hospitalized and unconscious for two days in St. Johns County.

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. — For the first time since a severe e-bike accident left him critically injured, 12-year-old Parker Anderson is telling his story, and his message is already making a difference in his community.

Parker was critically injured about a month ago while riding his e-bike in the Julington Creek area.

The accident left him unconscious for two days and in the hospital for more than a week.

Now back home, Parker and his father, Jeremy Anderson, are opening up about his recovery and the importance of helmet safety.

“When I entered the emergency room, I feared the worst,” said Jeremy Anderson. “I worried that my son might not be the same little buddy he once was, but he made a remarkable recovery. I’m incredibly grateful that he did. I always knew he had too much tenacity to be defeated like that.”

Parker’s resolve to heal has inspired more than just his family. Following his accident, almost every child in his neighborhood now dons a helmet while riding.

“It’s probably 90% people wearing their helmets now, so it’s good to see that,” Jeremy said.

The St. Johns County community has rallied around Parker, offering prayers, donations and support.

“Thank you, everybody,” Parker said.

The accident has also sparked a wider conversation about e-bike safety.

On Tuesday, the St. Johns County Commission will discuss a proposed ordinance that would ban e-bike use for children under 14.

“I think it’s going to be hard to enforce whatever comes out of the meeting,” local parent Mariah Sheridan said. “I think it has amazing intention. We all want to protect the kids in our community.”

As Parker prepares to return to riding, his story stands as a reminder of the importance of helmet safety and the strength of community support. The county commission is scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the proposed ordinance and enforcement measures.
