I was just informed by a co-worker that a couple of fellow bikers where I work at were injured on December 22 when they were going out to lunch. It seems some clown in a Corvette entererd the highway at a high rate of speed and lost control. The corvette bounced off of a Van then into the bike which they were riding. Neither were wearing riding gear or helmets. The girl (passenger) escaped with moderate injuries and the guy didn't fair so well He is having multiple operations to repair the bones in his legs and is missing a chunk of his scalp. It isn't clear if he has any brain damage (at least more than he had from before riding without a helmet) they are still waiting for the swelling to go down. This couple is engaged and loks like the wedding will have to be posponed. On the 25th of December a man was killed when he hit a car in north Dallas. It happened on a side street and apparently he was speeding and lost control. Well let's hope this year we see fewer accidents. |
