A buddy of mine that I work with was hit today. He was crossing the last intersection before getting to work and was hit from behind. Apparently the young lady (trying to be nice, see?) that hit him rolled through a stop sign to hit him in the intersection and showed no signs of slowing. She carried him on the hood and windshield for about 50 feet before she slammed on the brakes and he went flying. Just missed hitting a loading dock.
He had on all his gear, (thank God I talked him into AGATT) and miles of refective tape. She was most likely texting or fiddling with the radio instead of driving. And it appears that she did not have any insurance. Thankfully my buddy is military so he'll be taken care of medically.
I can't bring myself to feel sorry for her since she will be in serious trouble for, among other things, driving on base without insurance.
The last word we have was that he was walking around, but he is being taken to the hospital for evaluation. His bike and gear are totalled.
As is common in the military, I'm not sure about his first name, but his last name is McKinstry. Thoughts, prayers, good vibes, etc are appreciated.
I will update with info as I get it.
