Very sad story.
reminds me of an accident a couple years back. Myself and a couple buddies were riding out to meet up with some of the AZ VRCC guys. We stopped for gas in Salome, heard a loud noise but didn't think much of it. After a 1/4 mile it was evident what happened. A car had pulled out in front of a rider on a Kawasaki. He evidently got over as far as he could, but clipped the front fender which sent him dead on into the beginning of a guard rail. The bike tore the end of the guard rail off and he plunged into the exposed metal beam. He flew 50 feet down the embankment. He was just coming to as we rode up. His leather coat was cut threw clean and about 30 lbs. of his chest was hanging down by his belt. Luckily the bleeding wasn't too bad, but it was a pretty gruesome sight. My main concern was to get him out of the dirt and up on the pavement. He had no idea what had happened to him, didn't know any of us that we're trying to help him, was scared and in his shock wanted to fight anyone that touched him. To make a long story longer, we finally got an ambulance that took over for us. I often wonder about him, if he made it. Never could find out much, all I knew from him was that he lived in Prescott Valley.
Sorry for the hijack Bill. Brought back some memories. I hope that young man in Worcester is ok. He sounds like someone I'd like know.
