Long story short, the bike went out from under him, (ironically, right in front of a state trooper.) Broken collarbone, broke ribs, punctured lungs, and a broken wrist. He wasn't even going fast, no speeding ticket. Needless to say, the whole ordeal, cost him a lot more then even the best tires would have set him back!
