Reply #20: I should have clarified..

[LT TX]

He has ridden for years, just didn't own the bike. When gas prices went up, he decided to get one of his own.

The other driver pulled out right in front of him with no way for him to avoid it. From speaking to the EMT's and police at the scene, he did exactly the right thing - He laid over the bike and hit the side of her car to avoid going over head first. Unfortunately, his right leg did not have enough room to go under the car like his left leg did and he ended up shattering both bones.
