colby72olds Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 It happened on I65 yesterday. He works for Alabama D.O.T., they were putting up signs when a car being pulled by an RV came detached from the RV. The car slammed into him and sandwiched him inbetween it and a DOT truck. He was Medflighted to UAB hospital, where he's still in the ICU trauma unit. It shattered every bone in his leg and broke his pelvis. They are going to have to amputate his legs off at the waist. :sad: He is one of my good buddies, we rode 4-wheelers all the time. He just bought a 07' Raptor 700 about 3 months ago, it's so sad. I hung out with him sunday and he was showing me his new riding gloves and helmet. here's the link http://www.nbc13.com/gulfcoastwest/vtm/new...05-05-0023.html here's the other link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24470616/ Say a prayer for him if you will.
