Remember to share the road

Recommended Posts

I just have to post something about this. I know this isn't local, but it hits real close to home for me

A Motorcycle and a car crashed into each other on Milestrip Road in Orchard Park Thursday morning. The person on the motorcycle was thrown from the bike. Mercyflight was called to the scene. There were skid marks on the road as long as 100 yards. A portion of 179 East Milestrip is closed because of the accident. The identities of the drivers are still being confirmed. Stay with Eyewitness News at noon for updates.

 

The rider of the motorcycle is my girlfriend's dad. He is in stable condition at the hospital but has a slight bleed in his brain. The Mustang ran up on the rear of him and rear ended him. Remember to share the road and look out for motorcyclists.

Sorry to hear that man, I hope he comes out alright. He'll be in my thoughts. When ever I see a rider on a multi-lane road I try to give them as much room as I can, whether I'm following, passing, or anything.

The rumor is that the Mustang was going at least 100 MPH. That is what witnesses said.

 

Oh and let's just say, the car wasn't registered to an individual, but rather, held by a company.

He is supposed to get another CT today to see what the bleed is doing. Worst case they have to do brain surgery. I guess he has been on the phone with work all morning, but he is so drugged up they can only help but sit there and listen to him ramble and kind of laugh.

 

I did tell my gf that the bright side of all of this is that here in a year or 2 she can probably say bye bye to all her vet school debt, as well as any other debt her family may have.

QFT. I actually look forward to the day I get the ass end of my car or van nailed at speed. I'm confident the car will protect me from serious injury and while it may not be a lottery jackpot, it will be paydirt for me.

Think of a company that doesn't ness. have cars registered to them, and they have a few tags that they move around to different cars so that different people, who may or may not be associated with the company, can drive them.

 

I don't want to just come out and say it because the investigation isn't done.

Dealer tag perhaps.

 

Either way, if you're rear ended by anyone even if they are driving on business, you can always file against the company and the person. Someone will settle up along the way $$.

Yeah, it cracked, which is prob why they life flighted him. NY has a helmet law.

Some people are completely retarded when it comes to serious things. That is not a joking matter hope he ends up getting better real soon.

 

Same sorta thing happened to my dad he was driven off the road and into a ditch by a truck and it made him losing a kidney. But this was in England on a small road. Hes fine now with 1 kidney that is twice as bag as anyone's one kidney.

 

Hope your gf's dad recovers just like my dad did.
