I got word today that 2 of my friends were injured in a motorcycle accident in my home town. They were riding down Mix St. in Bristol when a drunk driver took a left hand turn into his driveway while the 2 motorcycles were traveling in the opposite direction and drove straight into the side of his truck.
My friend Allie, who's name was not release to the press, is still in the hospital, with no life threatening injuries (at least thats what I was told so far), but I was told something about some kind internal injury in her head and she was bleeding internally. It has stopped and she is recovering.
My other friend Michelle is in the intensive care unit and they say the next 24 hours are critical for her. They are hoping she will pull through this. At this point though, I have no idea what is going on. It is still being investigated, and even the immediate families are clueless about how and what happened.
The driver was arrested shortly after the accident last night. He left the scene and tried to take off but police caught him not far away.
