Cobra Crash This Morning !

[HighPlainsDrifter]

Hi *We met the 20 Phoenix cobra's on I 60 and followed them out onto the freeway on our goldwing.* We were to meet up with the Tucson cobras in Superior and continue from there to the car show in Globe.* Just after merging onto the freeway (Perry and I at the back of the pack on the wing) something went very wrong and Stuart (sorry, don't know his last name) hit his brakes and swerved to miss another car and ended up "flying" through the median, over the guard cables, hitting the west bound lanes, and as his tires were now flat and the steering locked, turning back into the median.* His car came to a rest under the guard cables with the cables pinning him by the neck.We ran to him and I thought for sure he was dead as his eyes were open and he was not breathing or moving.* Perry jumped into the car to try to pull the cables off his throat and myself and three others pushed the car back - it moved about 2 inches, enough to open his airway a bit to let him breath.* He started breathing and coughing up blood.* We suspect he has several internal injuries and a smashed up hand.* Don't know if he will lose a finger or two.* We sure hope he will be all right - he is alive and was talking to us before the ambulance arrived.The cobras that were in the front had turned around and pulled up on the other side of the freeway to help - an SUV ran into the back of one and pushed it into the side of another.* Three snakes out of commission this day - no one was in the parked cobras, so no more injuries.I'm sure there will be more accounts of this posted - I know I won't be able to forget it for a while - I also know Perry and I and the three or four others who initially pushed and pulled saved Stuart's life and we can feel good about that - We both really hope to see him up and around very soon and wish him the best and a speedy recovery!Bev
