A couple of motorbike accidents
Here are Freddy and Tina at the Last Carrot on Grand Avenue. Last week Tina rode by herself into Big Cypress and a deer crossed her path causing her to take a nasty spill on her motorbike.She was fortunate, unlike Judy Orr our long time Grove librarian who was struck on her motorbike, in town, around the same time, by someone without a license or insurance.
Judy has undergone several surgeries The doctors are happy to report that there have been no infections which was their primary concern. She has been transferred to Jackson Rehabilitation Center at 1161 NW 12th Ave, room 215.

Tina lives around the corner from us. Was she badly hurt?
Hi Everyone,
I'm happy to say that although I did sustain some injuries, I was able to pick myself up and sort things out. It was a tragic experience on what was a very serene ride back country in Big Cypress. The deer who had crossed the gravel road to drink from the river died instantly, but I was able to lay the bike down and roll off of it when it came to a stop. I cracked a rib or two which is really the worst of it. Insha'allah – my bike and I will be back on the road in a few weeks...
It's dangerous out there on our city streets for sure, but who would've thought it would be a deer I'd crash into! Very surreal.
Please watch out for us moto-riders out there - we're quite vulnerable.
Heartfelt prayers for Judy.
