So yesterday I got ran over by a semi. Here is the story of what happened from what I’ve been told and what I remember. I was riding down route 96 on my trike. A semi was coming up behind me and a truck decided to pass him so he had nowhere to go and didn’t notice me until it was too late so I was told. It was not a hit-and-run and the driver of the truck came to the hospital with me. He was very upset about the whole thing And seemed like a nice guy. Apparently when I got hit from behind I flew off into the ditch and my trike and gear went under the truck.. I was told The front of the truck was pretty damaged. I believe if it wasn’t for my helmet I would probably be dead.. My helmet has a huge crack in it.When my wife gets here I will go to the police department and see what items I can recover. I’m sure the guy’s insurance will cover a new bike or the VA will cover a new bike.. Not sure how I’ll get my equipment back most of it is destroyed. As for me I broke my left arm and dislocated my left knee. I popped my knee In by myself. My arm hurts a bit But other than that I’m OK. Adda Lamon should be here in about 20 hours. These are the only pictures I have. I managed to get my phone but my other cameras are destroyed and so I lost all my videos for the trip.

I did manage to take these pictures before the incident occurred…

Like the sunflower above Growing out of the concrete to be 8′ tall I will persevere and overcome and be right back out there soon.
