Broken FiL

[garynortheast]

Off to Abergavenny on Sunday to visit Dave, my FiL who was taken out while riding his Suzuki Teapot down to Bristol. Minding his own business heading south when out of a row of five cars coming in the other direction the fool in the third car decided it would be good to pull out into Dave's path and overtake the two cars in front. Dave hauled on the anchors but in avoiding collision went over the handlebars. The car went right across Daves side of the road and ended up in the hedge. The police got the driver and the drivers of the two cars following the idiot have given witness statements. The copper on the scene has left a message for Dave to say that they know it was the car driver at fault and not to worry about anything beyond recovery.
Dave has two fractures in his upper arm, a broken wrist, a shattered elbow, three broken ribs and a gash in his knee down to the cartilage. When his arm has repaired sufficiently he's going to be given a new elbow. Despite all that he sounds remarably chipper especially given that a 73 year old doesn't bounce or flex the way a younger man would.
Hope they throw the book at the driver.

Absolutely!!!

Hope he gets well soon.

Hope he is soon fixed and back to full health soon

73 years young. He sounds like a strong willed bloke.

That's a bad deal, hope the driver gets done big time and your FIL gets a good payout.
