Steve's Crash

Two Thursday's ago, Oct. 8th, I was at dance with Jenny when I get a urgent message to call Brandon, Steve's boss. The horrible news was that Steve was in a wreck. He was already at the hospital, but he seemed to not be broken. What happened was that he was checking pivots and hit a ditch on the four-wheeler enough to make him fly 30 feet in the air and skid on his back for 70 feet. He hit his head pretty hard. The four-wheeler went front end over front end about 1 foot to the side of where he was sliding. They guess he was unconcious for 30 minutes. A Peruvian found Steve and drove him back to the shop. Steve couldn't remember the crash or working with the rams a few hours before the crash. On the way to the hospital, he kept saying the same thing. He got a few bumps on his head and road rash on his back. They did a cat scan and everything was fine, so they cleaned him up and sent him home. He had scabs and headaches, but the next Monday he went back to work. We were so blessed that the four-wheeler didn't land on him. His head is fine and the road rash on his back is healing very well.
