A friend heard it on an AM radio traffic report on the way into work. She said that it had been cleared, but there was def. a report of an ambulance. :-(

The accident happened to a coworker of mine. Supposedly he's OK. Trying to get more details of what happened, but it sounds like his foot was run over somehow.

Yep. Confirmed he's alright. He got run into train tracks by a semi truck, and when he landed one of the trucks wheels ran over his foot. No idea how his foot handled that much weight, but apparently he's all good. He's been texting us and is headed back to the office.


We made a memorial on the floor next to his bike:

No idea about the truck. Guess he's not coming back in, so that question will have to wait until Monday probably.
