Brother Crash

Two Squished Tomatoes for Brother Crash, who has managed to get himself run over by cars twice now. The most spectaculare of which was being plowed over by a bunch of drugged up gangbangers under the Bullard exit sign in New Orleans east on I-10. If his sister who was a nurse comming off shift from Tulane University had not stopped to check on him I doubt anyone would have stopped. The kids that rear ended him certianly didn't. The bike slid over 400 ft along the wall and according to the one person that called the police he was in the middle lane doing baout 75mph when he was rear ended by a Lexus weaving in and our of traffic going between 95-100mph. He and the bike flew across the left lane of traffic and into the retaining wall where he did a headplant and then proceeded to leave a helmet mark along the wall for about 30 feet that can still be seen today. He spent several months hospitalized and almost a year recovering, He now has a metal legbone in his right leg to show for his trouble. Seems that though the drivers could afford a blinged out Lexus with spinning hubcaps they simply could not be bothered to carry insurance. So he ended up at charity hospital in New Orleans, jobless and broken. Before that, a grannie had failed to notice him and simply knocked him down with her Buick at about 20mph - he rolled like a rag doll in the gravel but it just doesn't hold the luster and appeal of the much more thourough squishing he would receive later. Now of course - he is called "Brother Crash" for a reason - though he only gets Squished Tomatoes for two of his crashes he does crash better than anyone else I've ever known.
