Legislative Update

Our long time active member of TMRA2, Pablo, of Plainview, had an accident yesterday. He is alive. A car FAILED TO YIELD! He is in University Medical Center in Lubbock. He is in Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) #8, but has had no surgery. I spoke with a relative (relatives only allowed). Although he is in critical condition with head injuries, he is stable. He is in a "holding pattern" and is not responding to command, but is kept sedated because he fights when he comes around. He is breathing on his own, has some small fractures in his back, but apparently not paralized.
If you are not sure who Pablo is, he hosted many fundraisers for motorcycle rights six miles west of Plainview for several years. He is a friend to us all, a member of TMRA2 for many years, and well known by many clubs and independent riders. Please keep him in your prayers! I will send another update in a couple of days, as I am going to Albequerque for two days.
In an unrelated bike accident, two teenaged boys were hit by another FAILURE TO YIELD within the same hour in Plainview. One of them is VERY critical. Please be careful during these busy holidays while traffic is so heavy and people are so pre-occupied with other things.
