A GoFundMe campaign has been launched in support of New Zealand-born, Ireland-based producer/musician Alex Borwick, "to help in his recovery from being hit by a truck in Dublin."

Based in Ireland since 2012, Alex is the head engineer at Grouse Lodge Recording Studios in Co. Westmeath, and has worked with the likes of Sam Fender, Niamh Regan, Gavin James, James Vincent McMorrow, Catfish & The Bottleman, Rachael Lavelle, Sorcha Richardson, Lankum, Amble, Landless, Parliament-Funkadelic and more.

The GoFundMe campaign, which was set up by his friends, has already raised over €25,000.

"His amazing talent and warm, open-minded personality has endeared him to many," the fundraiser page reads. "Up to now he’s been one of the busiest, hardest working people in the music business in Ireland.

"On Monday 24th of February, Alex and his partner Sarah’s baby boy – Milo - was born in the Coombe hospital, Dublin. The next day, as Alex was cycling back to the hospital to see Sarah and Milo, he was run over by a truck. The truck hadn’t seen him and Alex is lucky to be alive. His pelvis sustained multiple fractures, his left foot was badly damaged, and he suffered severe skin abrasions."

The GoFundMe description goes on to note that the "accident has turned Alex and Sarah’s lives upside down."

"He has needed multiple surgeries and hasn’t even been able to see baby Milo during the first three weeks of his life. It is hoped that Alex will make a full recovery, however it’s early days and his injuries are severe. It will be some time before he’ll be able to return to work and make a living."

All contributions from the GoFundMe will go "directly to the family to help with loss of income, medical and rehabilitation costs, plus equipment he will need to regain mobility."
