Happened earlier this morning on his way to his 9:00 shift at the Ford plant. My wife's sister called us. My brother-in-law who works for Ford up in Ohio had a wreck going to work. He is starting his 30th year with Ford next month. He was on his Suzuki GSR1000 (wearing a helmet) when some young lady pulled out in front of him. She told the cops she did not see him but she saw the car next to him, and still pulled out in front of him. The other car ran off the road and hit a street lamp. My brother-in-law was doing the posted speed limit (50 mph).
He is in the hospital with a fractured pelvis, punctured lung, 3 broken ribs, internal bleeding... bit through his lip..... Dr. says he did well in surgery, that a lot of people with this injury do not even make it to the hospital. He was medevaced him to Cleveland at the accident site. I am going to call later to day and see if I am able to talk to him. What a Friday. He was off today but took another guys shift. The other guy got a cold (ha!! So he said). My brother-in-law is such a cool guy with a huge heart. He would give somebody his last dime or his last scrap of food.
Be safe out there, guys!!! It's a Holiday weekend!!!
