Head-on: One dead one critical
This was posted on another forum, there was actually a picture of the quads in the NY Newsday story. Both quads were wrecked pretty good.

bummer....a good friend of mine lost his 18 year old sister this past 4th of july due to an atv accident...she was riding on a reletively wide trail thru the woods at an average pace (the normal that everyone rode on that trail) when some drunk on a banshee came the other way around the sweeping turn topped out and out of controll and hit her head on, killing her instantly, he only boke his arm....cops said only reason he didnt get hurt cause we was so loaded....dont think he got in any real troublew either cause the campground was private property...kinda crappy cause if it would've happened on a road with cars he'd be in prison...but since not it was just an accident.....like hank williams jr. said.." i'd love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes..and shoot him with my old forty-five"....think when you ride wear a lid and dont get trashed .....

This happened right down the street from my house(Manorville) The person died of blunt head trama and internal injuries. The other guy is not doing well, it really shook up the neighborhood, a lot of people are sealing theirs.

Originally posted by: tbonessis the article you're referencing is my brother's accident. its taken me forever to find this (not that i was looking, i just happened to google his name b/c i am bored at work)...it wasn't anybody's fault, there was a lot of dirt kicked up and htey were coming at each other from around a corner, collided head on. my brother is still recovering, has no use of his right arm at all (probably for the rest of his life) and has some brain damage from the accident. please be careful. he was wearing a helmet but it still didnt help that much. hes lucky hes alive...and my family is grateful as well. however, i feel the need to stress to all of you atv riders that this can happen to anybody. he never thought hed almost die from an accident, hes been riding for years and has had motorcycles and other land vehicles for at least a decade. you read about accidents like his in the paper and say: what a shame, but it isn't until your family member or you go through it personally that you realize how easy it is to lose your life, in a heartbeat. anyway, not to preach because i know he loved riding and still misses it, just understand that life is precious and you need to be extra careful. if not for yourself, for your family and everyone who loves you. |

Thats pretty tough for 3 atv's to get caught up in 1 accident....what was going on? My first thought is 2 were riding side by side and another guy coming the other way comes around a blind turn and has nowhere to go.

I'm alive!!!
That was a terrible accident I was involved in. It took me over ten years to finally get back to "normal". Loooong stay in hospitals. I was in for 6 months and was wheelchair bound. I wasn't able to walk till about 7 months after the crash. I suffered 9 brokens bones, bled out 5 1/2 pints, had severe head-trauma, sustained an acute nerve avulsion from C7-T2 (stretched and tore the nerves from my spine to my arm) leaving me with a paralyzed right arm. I'm forced to wear a sling forever but I can't complain because the other option is what happened to Robert Calderone. My prayers go out for him and his friends and family.
I'm a changed man now and moved from NY, got rid of all my toys and moved on. Thank you everyone for your comments and prayers...:thanks::thumbsup: |
