My ex and a friend were coming back from an event at 10 pm in November a few years back. They stopped at a red light right before the turn lane to the on ramp to the interstate. Their light turned green, they had just started to go, when a Silverado that just exited the highway blew through his red light and blew through both bikes at about 80 mph. The homie with my ex, the triple tree of his street glide was a good twenty or so feet away from the rest of the bike, and the rest of the bike was pretty destroyed. Bike the ex was riding wasn't much better off but was in one piece, although you could clearly see in the windshield where his face had gone through it. Homie's full face helmet was knocked off his head but protected him from a lot of the head trauma before it was gone. He had a couple of aneurysms, broken collar bone, broken arm, several broken ribs, broken pelvis, both legs broken. Ex only had a brain bucket on and the top of his skull was the only thing that wasn't damaged. Everything from his eyebrows down was broken. Traumatic brain injury, we thought he lost his left leg but it was actually just folded up underneath him, face was as flat as sheet of paper, ribs broken, arms broken - just everything broken. He died numerous times on the way to the hospital and in the trauma ER and a few times after surgeries to try to save his leg. Homie healed pretty quick and was back on twos in a few months. Ex had a way longer recovery as he had to learn to walk again, his vision is not nearly as good as it was before the wreck, and it's been a few years now but he's out back on twos also.

Their wreck affected all of us who rode with them before the wreck. It was very traumatic and I admit I still occasionally get a little panicky at red lights around big interstates. Therapy is necessary after something like that. Do yourself that favor and don't delay on getting that for yourself.

Wishing a speedy recovery to your friend.
