I want to thank all of the Wed nite Madcap riders for your thoughts, prayers, and especially for stopping to help me after my accident. I was just released from the hospital today, and thankfully (miraculously!) I have no broken bones...only two jammed fingers, very badly damaged right leg, assorted cuts and bruises, one stitch in the lip, one tooth lost, and two badly broken. I will need more dental work, but I should heal physically very quickly. Emotionally, it is a completely different story, as I cannot understand why someone would intentionally hit me.
I heard that several of you asked what happened. In brief, I was ahead of the main group on Springfield Rd, and as I came up to Good Hope Rd, there was a car stopped at the stop sign. Even though it wasn't necessary (since we have the right of way), I held out my arm and indicated I was going left (straight). The car pulled into the intersection, hesitated, and then came directly at me. I tried to go around him, but he turned right into me and then stepped on the gas as he fled the scene. A man in a pickup truck came by and asked if that car had just hit me. I managed a "yes", and he burned rubber trying to catch him.
The only details I remember about the car are that is was a 4-dr, dark green sedan, with a thin gold stripe around it and tinted windows. It looked like a 90's model Toyota Camry. I have no updates on the case and do not know if the man in the truck was able to get any plate information.
Thanks again for your concern. I hope to see you out on the road sometime soon.
Michelle
