FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) ― Larimer County firefighters are standing by the side of a co-worker as his son fights for his life at Children's Hospital.
Nicholas Greenwood, 6, fell off a trailer being towed by a pick-up truck driven by his father last Sunday. The boy was hit and left with a severe brain injury.
Nicholas remains in critical condition a week later.
