I was riding my SS Mercier Kilo TT Pro to work on Friday morning when a 92 year old lady made an unsafe left turn in front of me. I was going about 35-40km/h when I slammed on my brakes. I almost missed her but I skidded into her rear right tail light and went flying. I have been, and still am in the hospital since Friday morning (my younger brother lent me his extra laptop). I broke my left thumb and tore a ligament in it, I smashed up my left shoulder and have some sweet road rash there, my helmet lost a few chunks when my head hit and I also have a collapsed right lung. I had some surgery yesterday where they inserted a tube into my chest to relieve the air that leaking out of my lung and into the chest wall as well as some blood that had accumulated.
My Mercier is a wreck. The front fork is bent back behind the downtube of the frame and the frame has bowed outwards. Surprisingly the wheels are still round!
I'll post some pictures when I'm allowed to go home in a couple of days (Hopefully)
It really sucks. That was a new bike
