Hi Guys I received this email this morning in my inbox and a friendly cyclist suggested I post it here. Please, if you have any information, contact the people listed at the end. The email comes from his aunt and the family are desperate for information: On Saturday, 9 May 2009 - between 15:00 and 16:00, a 24-year old cyclist was involved in a near fatal hit-and-run bike accident on ntdekkers Road (close to the corner of Ruhama and Ontdekkers Road). He was traveling west on Ontdekkers Road when a person hit him off his<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> bike. The person then skipped the red robot on Ruhama Road and just drove off! Leaving the cyclist lying there in the rain... I cannot comprehend how any human being - that has just caused a major accident - could just leave another human being lying in the road, for dead! A lady and her husband (herewith referred to as angels!!) traveling in the opposite direction, turned around and stopped to help. She took off her jacket and threw it over the cyclist, sitting next to him at the side off the road, in the pouring rain, waiting for paramedics to arrive. I would like to thank them both from the bottom of my heart for showing kindness and caring!! The cyclist is currently in the Milpark Hospital with the following injuries: * broken skull * bleeding on the brain * brain damage * both arms and legs broken - of which he might loose his one arm and his one foot * lungs gave in - he is on a respirator * he will be in an induced coma for 9 - 14 days If anyone out there knows anything about this accident, or knows who might be responsible for it - I am begging you - to please come forward with the information. My nephew is such a joy to everyone, and does not deserve this. Whoever caused this accident, needs to take full responsibility for it. Please contact any of the following persons on the numbers below with any information. Carmen - 083 294 0634 Madeleine - 082 953 1659 or 084 405 2977 Ilze - 079 043 3182
