Hi, I actually just passed by the scene, which prompted me to google search. Why was the helicopter needed where Surrer hospital is only approximately 400 yards away?
Major head trauma needs to be treated at a ‘trauma unit’, Sutter is a fine hospital, I’ve been treated there, but they don’t have a full on ‘trauma unit’.
My backyard backs up to james donlon. We have a freaking ladder set up in our backyard to see all the crashes at the S curve past nightengale…been watching this since our house was built!
You really think Sutter is a good hospital? I wouldn’t bring my pet rat there or my worst enemy for help.
Because it’s head trauma
We need heavy traffic patrols on J/D all the time. Any time of day they pass you doing 80 or more.
He wasnt speeding his bike had a malfunction and he lost control.
Definitely need more police presence in the area, a lot or motorcycles pass on the shoulder on the right side recently.
I avoid J/D like the plague it is.
My backyard backs up to the curve at james donlon/nightingale where there is ALWAYS accidents…No one bothers to slow down. We have a ladder in our backyard to look over the soundwall to watch all the accidents…we have called 911 several times since 1976.
Probably air lifted to John Muir Trauma Center
Justice. This is the riders father. I too was a motorcycle rider.
1. Did you actually see the accident?
2. What happened for you to think it was a malfunction?
Any details would be helpful. Thanks
