The agent was struck in the head and chest by the motorcycle that went airborne after the crash.
The Arizona Daily News reported the agent sustained injuries to his face and eye sockets. The agent also suffered brain damage from damage to his carotid artery. The agent continues in his recovery process.
Border Patrol officials and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have not yet released an official statement.
