Subject: TH3_FRB cycling accidentHey BTers...sad news tonight.. Joel, TH3_FRB was hit by a car tonight while cycling. He is doing ok however, will be in the hospital for a few days. He is having surgery on his hip tomorrow. His hip is broken in two places and looks pretty nasty. The Dr. says he'll be off his feet for atleast 3 months, not to mention rehab, etc. The a**hole that hit him left the scene right afterwards...but Joel vaguely remembers someone saying they got her license plate number. The bike is not looking very good...but thank god this wasn't worse! Joel had a great time in Boston...but it looks like that may be the only race he does in 2006. Another bad thing is that we live on the 3rd floor of our building...no elevator..which means he'll be going CRAZY not being able to get out of the home! I'm not sure what time his surgery is, but I'll be sure to keep you posted. I know your willpower and thoughts carried him through that marathon...so please, keep it going so that he gets through this surgery with the best outcome. BTW....It was the lady's fault...not Joel's. He was going straight at a green light when she was turning left from the other side of the road. Not to mention it was a hit and run...so hopefully we'll find her! (Although....if I find out who she is..you might want to pray for her!) Take care and please, keep him in your thoughts.
