      I heard that the person who hit him called for help and the paramedics took him to the hospital. Not a hit and run. I hope he pulls through, PRAYERS going up for him.

    Hope everything turns out well for him. Once you have to be transported to a overseas facility for treatment it is serious.

      Agreed.
      Sometimes the local hospital doesn't have the necessary equipment or talent to deal with certain injuries .
      BVI please keep him in your prayers.

        They messed with the wrong one ! This is the same thing that happen to the young man couple years ago. "Circumstances is unclear ". Then couple weeks later , the young man turned himself into authorities . What ever sick thinking yall have against bikers , Stop it ! There are actually some decent bike riders around. Its all fun and games until its your own .

    Based on the comments it appears vehicle drivers and boat captains are leaving the scenes of their collision accidents more and more. At least there is a charged defendant in the fatal yacht collision last year.

    @ T. It's an accident. Why leave the scene, unless the person was driving without insurance?
