Accident

A family member reported an accident to us last night. An older lady was speeding and hit a woman pushing a wheel chair with her father in it. The car hit the woman so hard from the rear that she landed on the car and then hit the wheel chair and the father flew out and hit his head on the cement. The woman had to have stitches completely down her left leg and the hospital didn't treat her very nicely, we think because she is overweight. They x-rayed her leg but not her hip, something they should have done. She is home recuperating but can't get in and out of bed without help and very sore. The father had his skull cracked in two places and it also broke the lining around the brain in one place. He had a facial fracture also and went into surgery last night at midnight in Rochester, MN and has it was a long surgery. They had to sew up his skull, fix his face and he is all swollen up and is 81 years old. If he survives the next 24 hours, he will live. The woman in the car had the nerve to say to the police that they walked out in front of her. The woman who was hurt then replied to the police, then how come she hit us from the rear? The woman is known for speeding where she shouldn't be and I hope they throw the book at her, as they say and I hope the man doesn't die or she is in even worse trouble. The father had just gotten out of the local hospital the day before and his daughter thought it would be nice to take him for a walk since the weather was perfect yesterday.
