jenja1 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I just got home from dropping off my son at Pre K.. At the intersection of Ridge Rd and Hwy 61 there was a horrible accident involving a motorcycle... He was lying in the middle of the road.. Didn't look good AT ALL.. It had to have happened a few minutes before I got there.. Seeing him lying on the ground- I just couldn't stop the tears.. Trying to hide it from my son, so he couldn't see me upset or the accident itself.. Did anyone else see it? Saying Prayers for him and his family!! Link to post Share on other sites

Praying for you, I know what you are going through 16 years ago I witnessed an accident and the driver of the car that was hit, was hanging out of the windshield. It has haunted me since. Will never get that image out of my head. I saw the whole thing emerge right before my eyes!! Praying for the young man as well, hope he will be okay!!

raclay Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Last year our TKD Grand Master was involved in an accident on his motorcycle. No other vehicles were involved, he lost control on some gravel on 278 over in front of the new hospital. He was very banged up and I bet for anyone driving by, probably thought it was worse than it actually was. I pray this is the case for this young man this morning. Obviously, this has really affected those of you who saw it this morning, my thoughts are with all of you, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Shredder Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I was at the site when it happened and helped the fella out until they loaded him into the ambulance. The man that he collided with was very concerned and caring, and even spoke to his mom on the phone. The police told me who was at fault, but I won't share that because it was purely an accident. My concern is for the young man and the family. I am going to try to figure out how to get in touch with his family and see what my church can do to help. I am so very thankful that he is going to be okay! I have seen some horrific motorcycle accidents, and it could have been much, much worse. God bless all of you for your concern and prayers! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
