From his dad……..just finished last surgery……broken bones in arm, thumb, leg, and face……but no internal injuries – no head injuries……lucky to just be broken – bones heal – expect full recovery

I’m glad to hear everything should be okay, and I’m glad he was wearing a helmet. We try to be sensitive about what photos we post. I’m a former motorcyclist myself, and I hate to see any accidents like this.
