So continuing that even the tangential stuff stretches the limits of believability

Veronica recently hired a new employee for the store who ended up in the ICU...
Why? Wait for it....she was riding her bike and got hit by a car....while she was riding without a helmet.
She has a fractured skull and had some bleeding on the brain. As bad as that sounds, she is expected to pull through with no long term effects according to her mother who called Veronica. New employee is 22 so hence call from Mom.
So given the positive prognosis....really? No helmet? I guess she can be her own best testimony in going forward as to the necessity of wearing a helmet
Oh and perhaps those around me are just having bad luck with motor vehicles as I've been so wrapped up in myself that I'm pretty sure that I failed to mention that my brother had his car wiped out by a drunk driver last week.
With him in it....luckily his immediately apparent injuries were limited to ten stitches in the webbing of his hand between thumb and index finger. It is thought that he had his hand on gear shift and skin got caught during impact and ripped.
Had some initial neck pain but went to chiropractor and that seems to have resolved that.
The other party pretty much confessed on the spot to being at fault, probably due to the fact that she was drunk at the time and confessed to that as well.
She turned almost directly into him in making a left turn against traffic. Luckily he had an empty lane next to him and was able to move just enough that she impacted at the left wheel well as opposed to head on or perhaps worse directly on to his driver side door.
The thing that amazes me about the pics is that knowing that it was nearly head on is that her car ended up behind my brother's in the picture
I know that people get hit on bikes and people are involved in auto accidents everyday and then some but what are the chances that I'm one or two degrees separate from all of this stuff all right now?
