Default Biker down, could use some prayers

My brother-in-law went down this evening. Not sure of exactly what happened but, he is busted up pretty bad. Broken collar bone, broken ribs, scratched, scraped and no memory. The good thing is that he was wearing his helmet otherwise he wouldn't have made it according to the EMT's. He slid for about 75ft and the bike went 300ft. His beloved RK took some pretty bad hits as well. If you could, send a prayer his way my sister and I would appreciate it.
Thanks
