My sources say that he has a broken leg/ribs/etc, and severe head injuries...

I hate hearing about this happening over and over again.

Pulling for Jeff.  Just awful.  From the pictures it looks like the car hit him from behind.  Hoping for the best.

Don't know Jeff, but my prayers go out to him and his family.

This stuff has got to end, but it won't until we get tougher about drunk/distracted driving in this State and get some judges who are willing to hand down meaningful sentences to those who cause harm to others through their own carelessness.

We also need DA's who have a set of balls big enough to charge someone with a crime.

Thoughts and prayers to the family.  It will be interesting to see the cause and how this case is handled.

Agreed. There's an impression near the MIDDLE of the hood and the windshield-- looks like the driver just about drove right into the back of him with the center of his/her car. Just sickening.

License of vehicle - 631-JPK (from the picture).  I should contact a friend who's a County Sheriff.

Why Phil?  Local law enforcement are handling it. 


Unconfirmed update is that Lauren Jensen has been released from the hospital with a broken clavicle and Jeff is in the ICU while efforts are being made to reduce brain swelling.

I'm that upset to hear of this, and then seeing those photos, that I have some not-so-pleasant thoughts in my head, I'm sorry to say.

What bothers me is knowing how these things get handled...    nothing happens to the driver.  Sure, there are civil lawsuits, but no real penalties other than the insurance company writing a check.  Not that I think that all motorists who hit cyclists deserve to have the book thrown at them, but when NO ONE gets punished, it sends a very poor message to everyone.

I hope that Jeff gets well soon....    I hope that is family is surrounded by loved ones right now.

Didn't Jeff have a really bad accident during a race a couple of years ago?  I can't remember for sure but I think it was him.   

If so, he needs some good gu-gu sent his way!

From what I heard on the radio, the women involved was Lauren Jensen.  Thoughts and prayers to both of their families.

OMG - I didn't even notice that the first time. That makes me stomach turn. Unbelievable.

Healing thoughts being sent his way.

(::and this is why I've barely been able to get on my brand new bike this summer.... too many stories of cyclists being hit. It's just unthinkable to me that drivers can be that unaware::
