Daniels Accident

On Saturday afternoon I got a call from Daniel saying he wrecked his bike on the interstate. I thought he was joking because he was the one who called and was pretty calm on the phone. It was no joke though. He was riding on 65 S with his friends and a car came across 3 lanes and cut in front of him and nearly clipped the front of his bike. He had to put the bike down going 60mph or hit the median. The other vehicle just kept going. He was taken to the hospital because he was going so fast when the impact occured. His friends and dad loaded the bike up in the back of his dads truck. I got to the hospital in like 10 min. with the help of directions from my mother. He got really lucky and walked away from the accident with a cut on his knee and shoulder where the impact had gone through his riding jacket. If he was not wearing his jacket and helmet the damages would have been a lot worse. He was mad they cut up his favorite jeans and shirt. He was also more worried about if his bike was ok than if he was ok. He has been sore the last couple days and the doctor advised him not to work for the next few days because he cannot bend his knee or the cut will never heal. The cut on his knee was one layer of skin away from stitches but because there were cuts around the deeper one they did not sew it up in order to not irrate the other cuts. His bike is pretty banged up and he is mad he does not get to run it at the track on Tuesday. I turned it in to insurance today and suprisingly it will not affect his premium at all even if the police report lists it as his fault since the other car kept going. He gets reimbursed for the custom parts on his bike and his helmet. He should find out soon what the damages are worth and if it will be totaled out. We are very grateful it was not any worse and thank god Daniel is ok!
