To the good Samaritans that helped me out after I crashed on my bike riding over Wisner yesterday
I was going on my typical daily ride, thinking nothing of it. I was southbound on Wisner going around city park which I ride nearly every day. Then something happened. I'm not sure what because I blacked out completely and have 0 recollection of what happened until my first blurry memories of being loaded into an ambulance but I believe my chain somehow detatched from my chainring and since I was pedaling with force on the highest gear uphill I must have spun out of control into the ground going up the bridge.
But two good Samaritans saw me laying unconscious on bridge going over 610 on Wisner, and they decided to get out and help me out. I don't know your names, but you saved my life! You treated my wounds, got me off the road and called an ambulance to come pick me up and save my life! Without you who knows what could have happened to me laying unconscious on that road for an extended amount of time with drivers not paying attention. One of you even took your shirt off to help wrap my bleeding road rashes I'm told, I still have your bloody shirt in our garage. Thank you for saving my life and calling the ambulance! I was completely out of it and have 0 memory of what caused me to crash but without you guys being there to help me it could have been so much worse!
Also, Helmets are awesome! I don't know how much worse this could have been if I wasn't wearing a helmet, because despite wearing one I still completely blacked out! Luckily I'm out of the hospital now with just a concussion and some bad road rash.
