ramsew Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I received an update yesterday on the cyclist who collided with the bike on Sunday.He is still in critical but stable condition in ICU under heavy sedation. They operated on his arm, which has been severely damaged – the chance of an amputation is still on the cards.He has a number of broken ribs, and as a result of this his lungs were punctured, but his liver and kidneys suffered the most damage. Please keep him in your thoughts.thanks for the update,
Wannabe Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) udxcob informed me that Chris's wife sms'ed him that Chris came to. He does not recognise anybody due to sedation, but he is moving (what, and to what extend I do not know).That is very good news. :clap: :clap: Edited January 28, 2012 by Wannabe
Guest Frail4Life Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Awesome. Hang in there Chris. Keep fighting!

We are all rooting for you!
canadonis Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Hi guys Been following the accident particularly on Chris's progress I must say everytime I read another report on the accident it sends shivers down my spine..it could quite easily been me lying in Tht hospital bed. I suggest we show the cyclist solidarity by arranging a group ride to Constantiaberg the first Saturday he is out of icu. Also collect donations on the day. Tell all your buddies and we show our suport..any thoughts?

canadonis Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Its all about a chain of events..guy shouts meezo goes down with others causing obstruction Chris passes the bunch in spirit of cycling looks over to see all ok with lapse of concentration wrong side of road and has accident. Had initial accident not occurred Chris would hv been with his family today. As I said earlier it could easily been me and I'm sure 99% of other riders..so we need to show our support.
Caerus Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 How is Chris? Any details on his recovery/ condition? Just reading this makes you realise how quickly things in life can change, I hope that all are recovering well and will be back on their bikes soon

Just reading this makes you realise how quickly things in life can change, I hope that all are recovering well and will be back on their bikes soon Last I heard (yesterday) he came to, but still heavily sedated.(did not recognise anybody (his wife was with him)) He was moving around a bit. So there is at least an improvement.

walkerr Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 You guys may or may not agree with me here, but whilst I enjoyed reading of the Craig Dutton's stellar performance I found the article somewhat hollow without any mention of those injured who had also participated in the event, so I added a comment to the piece. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/112380-podium-clean-sweep-as-team-bonitas-tame-the-cape-cobra/page__view__findpost__p__1573787
