BVC-CHAT Richard Burts' accident yesteerday

[Willie Allen]

Riders, 

If you have not seen the Eagle today there is a picture of Richard lying on the ground being worked on by two BFD paramedics after being struck from behind as he rode south on the shoulder of Harvey Mitchell Parkway by a trailer carrying a n oversized load. Richard is at St. Joselp's in serious condition with a compound fracture of the left arm, broken ribs and severe road rash. The driver that struck Richard was the first to call in the report to the BPD. Richard was wearing a helmet as is his usual practice and it is credited with preventing more serious injuries by BPD officer Dennis Thane. See http://www.theeagle.com/region/localregional/010702autoped.htm for full details.

Steve, the article does not mention the status of the driver being cited. Would you check with the BPD to see what their intentions are inregarding to citing the driver.
