Gents:
About 8:30 this morning my brother Steve came into the shop to tell us my nephew had been hit by a car on his way to school and that my mom and dad were on the way to the emergency room.
Seems a driver decided he didn't need to stop at a red light and turned right--right over my nephew on his bike who was IN THE CROSSWALK crossing on the GREEN. The driver heard a noise (crunch) and stopped...right on TOP of my nephew! (Stopped his van with the front wheel right on my nephew's pelvis). The driver got out, saw my nephew pinned under his van and so he got back in his van and backed up off of him.
A police officer was right on the scene and saw the whole thing and called an ambulance. They rushed him to the hospital, put 8 people on him, looked at the x-rays...and then gave him a few pain pills and sent him home! He was fine. Didn't even break a bone. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!
When he got home all he asked his mom was if he could get a new bike because his bike was mangled.
His mom, (my sister), is a litagator and has been described by other attorney's as "harder than a Hard Tail Harley!" I think he will get a new bike.
