Oh my god, that must have pulverized his leg. Hope he makes a full recovery

Everytime I hear this, as a rider myself, I cringe.
I hope all is well with the rider.

Hoolly shit. ^No kidding, I hate reading about these. Hopefully he can walk normally again at some point.

Sadly, Im pretty sure it is an amputation.

Think they need to start cracking down on un-secured loads. This accident and not even two weeks ago that woman was killed on Stoney...

Its not so much the unsecured loads I was worried about when I was riding, it was the semi-truck tire shrapnel that worried me the most.

You see it everywhere on the highways in the summer. If a bomb like that went off while I was passing, I'm sure it wouldnt be pleasant.
