Deer Season, but watch out for the cows too
This morning about 530 we toned out for a life flight standby assignment at the scene of a Motorcycle vs Cow accident.
This one hit close to home as the rider was one of of our guys from Pasadena Station 5. Apparently several cows got out of their adjacent pasture and wandered into the dark roadway ( 6 lane boulevarded road / 55 mph posted speed) and he nailed one of them and was thrown over the bars of his Ultra Classic and onto the roadway. Keith was conscious and alert and talking to the medics prior to being flown to the trauma center. He suffered a fractured Jaw, possible sinus cavity fracture, and fractured kneecap along with numerous abrasions and contusions. He will recover but it will take a while. No, he wasnt wearing a helmet, and prior to this event he never has. Hopefully this will change his mind. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
