Default Rider Down!

One of my Marines who rides went down last night low side he has a C50. New rider 1 1/2 months but did complete MSF course. Story goes he had a tailgaiter 10:00 pm he let's him by and the tailgaiter slams on brakes causing the rider to go down (tailgaiter did not stop) Result broken collar bone minimual damage to the bike he was only 1/4 mile from home, bike started he rode home then wife took to hospital (Keep in mind he is a Marine). He's home now recovering.
