airtwardo 6 #1 April 5, 2005 Quick rant~ We live in a 'Yuppie' community North of Houston that has been and is still growing way beyond what was likely planned. The traffic at peak hours can be a nightmare. There are only two exits in town for the freeway to head for downtown Houston, and they, like many of the roads here can't handle to flow of traffic. Yesterday morning my oldest son got hit by a car while riding his bike to school. He was on the sidewalk crossing an exit driveway where cars dropping students off re enter the street. The person that hit him was likely 'multi-tasking' behind the wheel, no doubt running late. My speculation is that they were in a rush to get into the slight break in traffic and didn't look at the kids crossing ten feet in front. Accelerating hard...my guy was hit with the center of the vehicle throwing him 10-15 feet in the air, first impact being his neck on the sharp edge of a sign. He's sore and will recover. It could have been MUCH worst. Could EASILY have killed him! I went to the site this morning to sit back and watch. I was amazed at the number of close calls, eight to be exact...instances in which someone could have been seriously injured....45 MINUTES! IN A SCHOOL ZONE!!!! People on the phone...fixing make-up...yelling at back seat riders...eating...READING! I'm a very cautious driver...30 years of being on a motorcycle, it's habit. But for those who may not be... PLEASE take a moment and think about the concequences, to yourself and others. It just takes one second in a lapse of focus. End Rant. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca 0 #2 April 5, 2005 OMG!!! Your poor little guy!! I hope the "multi-tasking" idiot who did that is taking full resposibility? My best friend once got bumped by someone exiting across a sidewalk without looking. They didn't even apologize. Grr. I have about a three-page rant building up, so I'm gonna step out now... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

davedlg 0 #3 April 5, 2005 wow. Glad to see he is okay. You really gotta be careful out there...there are so many people who drive while talking on cell phones, looking at their I-pod, changing radio stations, putting on makeup, eating a big mac, or doing everything but paying attention to where their SUV is going. Hope your son has a speedy recovery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justinb138 0 #4 April 5, 2005 I pass through 2 school zones on the way to work each day. I'm not sure why, but I see 3x the number of car accidents in the school zones than I do on the rest of the 30 mile drive. Seems like it should be the other way around. Glad he's Ok!

I was hit (as a pedestrian) by a guy who ran a red light, slammed into another car ($13,000 worth of damage to the vehicle, fortunately, no damage to the two occupants), and slammed into me and threw me into a utility box. Apparently he was on a cell phone at the time... Glad to hear your son is going to be okay. At least he's got a cool scar to show off! If there's anything that can be improved at the intersection to make it safer for pedestrians/cyclists, I encourage you to get in touch with the appropriate local authorities (city, county, whatever applies). After three nearly identical accidents at the same intersection (one in which a pedestrian was killed, my accident, and another one that didn't involve a pedestrian), we were able to get the city traffic engineers to come out, look at the intersection, and look at the data and make some changes."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

I know your son will remember that day for the rest of his life. Glad he made it through with minimal injury. I was hit by a van, actually a rear-side mounted mirror of a van, on July 8, 1974 while riding a bicycle, exactly one month before Nixon resigned. I left work early because I was not feeling well. I was riding on the white line of a two-lane road. It was high noon and around 100 degrees out. The mirror clipped my left upper arm and threw me over the handlebars. A woman from a house right there came out and asked for my name and phone number. She called my Mom. By then the ambulance and cops had arrived. I told the emergency person that my arm was not broken. But the flesh was severely damaged. The flesh hung down to the ground when I sat up and lifted my elbow up even with my shoulder. These emergency guys said to lay down and put one of those plastic inflatable braces on my arm. I kept saying my arm was not broken. Then I asked for some shade. I wasn't feeling well and the sun was not making me feel better. It was 100 degrees out. Some cop took his hat off and gave me some shade. In the ER, a DR wanted to cut off my shirt. I said I'll just take it off. He wouldn't let me do that. I kept saying my arm was not broken. He cut off my shirt. I get x-rayed. Gosh - your arm isn't broken. Duh?! They kept me over night for observation. My parents sued for costs. I guess it was 3x the actual costs. The lawyer got 1/3. We even had to go to court for the driver. The driver was a 16 yo. I was 17 at the time. I bought my first motorcycle with the money! It was a Yamaha 250 Enduro. Bike riding, whether bicycle or motorcycle, does make you a better 4-wheeled vehicle driver. I've lost count of the number of people trying to kill me on my bicycle or motorcycle. Idiots that direct traffic from inside their cars and whimsically change the rules of the road are the worst. ..

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sweetillusions 0 #14 April 5, 2005 Ouch! So glad he is ok. There was just a 5 year old little boy killed in a town near me. He had just gotten off the bus which was still stopped and had it's red flashers on, when a woman on a cell phone drove around it and hit him. State law in Ohio is that you must stop for school buses when they have those red lights flashing. I'm not sure about everywhere else. It is truly sad and makes you think about how precious life is and how quickly something can happen.

On the loop back home I put the dogs back on their leashes since we now have to walk on the sidewalk. There are two neighborhood streets that I cross, and they both have stop signs, giving me the right away. I always have to stop, and let the cars go first, as they seem to be blind when ever they approach those stop signs.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

The stupidity was rampent! The crossing guard made him get up, with blood gushing out of the wound...and walk 150 yards to the nurses office. I got a call from our other son on his cell just seconds after it happened. He was few feet ahead, our daughter a few feet behind. I was there within minutes... I walked into the nurses office to find him sitting upright in a chair holding pressure with a gauze bandage. I have some EM training and guess I went into auto pilot. I gently layed him down and requested a blanket since he was obviously in shock with pulse and breathing erratic. I asked for an ETA on the ambulance... which was only then called. Asking the nurse to use her BP cuff to monitor vitals I inquired if it was accepted proceedure to 'walk' a trama victim anywhere... Were there broken bones..spinal injury.. internal injuries? Amazed at what was going on, I pulled the bandage to see if there might be a 'pumper' considering the amount of blood and the area of the injury. Glad to see the wires & pipes intact and the bleeding was tissue vessels...although there was a 3-4 cm lateral slice on the neck muscle. I was relieved when the fire - rescue guys got there with a cervical brace and a back board. They had been looking for him outside, and also couldn't believe he'd been moved! I didn't get emotional until I was in the ER with him following the Xrays and preping for the needle work. I had to hold him at an angle so that the Dr. could work..and NOTHING I could do eased his fear or comforted the pain he was in.
