My girlfriend was bassically T-boned friday evening. She was going straight when somone entering coming from nieghborhood streets crossed her street to go into a parking lot without stopping. She tried to escape the collision, but was hit, and the truck's license plate cut her leg open pretty bad. So I've been in the hospital with her since friday. She will be fine, but bassically her whole thigh was sliced up to the hip and a hanging flap. It looks like her bike is totaled as the engine casing is cracked/destroyed, the bars are bent, lots of messed up body work, cables snapped, ect... The only things she is worried about are 1. her bike, 2. making it to academy(she is a corrections officer), 3. Appologizing to the friends she was going to help teach ride their new bikes.
She should be out of here in a couple of days though. Wish her the best, and be careful out there!
EDIT: oh and funny enough the guy that hit her was a nurse, so he was ready to help. The accident happened at one hospital parking lot, and they took her to one accross town (I guess trama is better here, but it is still "funny").
