My brother, Mike Cleveland, was clipped by a truck in a construction zone on 969 at Austin's Colony last Thursday while he was riding to work at Tesla. I don't know how he went down or how fast he was traveling, but he went down hard. We are awaiting more info, but there were quite a few witnesses from what we understand.
He was wearing a new full-face helmet and work clothes, and was unconscious for 1 1/2 hours. He lost his wallet (edit- he didnt loose it) and was taken to St David's in south Austin as a John Doe (edit- don't know why).
His intestines and colon are bruised but there have been no bleeds. Besides being beat up with a lot of road rash, one of his hands is broken and his thumb is very displaced, so surgery will be in his future. He is having minor cognitive difficulty but they don't think it will be permanent. The fog is clearing a little bit more every day. They did find a pre-existing 14mm lesion on his brain during the PET scan, so maybe something good will come of all this.
The bike, a 2015 Wide Glide appears to be totaled.
Positive energy is appreciated, in whatever form that takes.
Thank you,
Joel
