    Default Another motorcycleist down in TX

    I hope I have placed this in the correct forum. I tell my friends to "please ride 'em safely". And I have told my son-n-law the same thing many times. No matter how safe we try to be there is always someone out there not paying attention. My son-n-law was riding home from work about 6 pm yesterday on the interstate near Burleson/Dallas/Fort Worth and was broad sided by someone changing lanes without looking first... seems the cell phone was more important than a human life. Any way he is in the trauma center there with many broken bones and a bleeder in the left side of his brain. Prognosis at this time unknown. Please help me pray for him, his wife, my daughter and is two children Katie 9 and Sean 6. Thanks for all prayers and please know they are appreciated and once again "please ride 'em safely". This has been one tough day for our family. Ken krb1945

    Prayers sent. I'm believing God for wisdom and skill in the doctors and nurses that are treating him, supernatural healing in his body and comfort for the family.

    The prayers are worth it, my near death experience on 2 wheels is one year ago this weekend(Aug 8th). God really escorted me through that and worked with me every day keeping me inspired to excecise my brain out of the hematoma and contusion along with all the physical trauma. People at work are still a little shocked between my condition after accident and now. This 40yr old is going on 18.

    I'm sorry to hear this .... Best wishes to your Son-in-Law and Family.

    I hate to see people driving while on the cell phone.
    California passed the law forcing hands free devices while driving, but it has had no effect as far as I can tell. I often see people with the ear piece in their ear and then they are holding the microphone or sometimes even the phone up to their mouth....NO call is worth someones life!

    Adding my prayers to those already sent. I've had several close calls because people's cell phone calls were more important than driving and the safety of everyone around them.

    Keep us posted.

    Sending all the prayers and healing vibes over your way! Same thing just happened to my girlfriend - her friend was hit head on by someone not paying attention.

    I hope he's gonna be ok! Keep us posted on him.

    CT passed the law a while back - nobody adheres to it. I don't talk on my cell while driving but many do and they also text while driving! What the F is so important where you can't arrive at your destination and call them back???!!!
