Recently, I was just completing a negative split training ride when I was struck from behind by a hit and run driver. They estimated his speed to be 40 mph. I do not remember anything about the accident. I found out later that- very fortunately- a passing driver stopped, called 911 and rendered aid.I was unconscious, but my Road ID had all the information that was needed for me to get proper treatment and to contact my loved ones. I'm recovering from a broken back, head injury, puncture wounds and road rash...I feel blessed and lucky to be alive.
Update: I now wear my Road ID all the time...I'm so grateful for the peace of mind it provides me and my family. I bought a new bike and I can't wait to get back outside and ride again. I will also be wearing the Firefly gear, in hopes I will be more visible to drivers!
