Big Cliff Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 For the motorcycle cop that hit a goose on the 400/11 extension this morning. Last I heard he was in serious condition in Sunnybrook with his family by his side. I came onto the carnage minutes after it happened, there wasn't much left of the bike! He is an experienced motorcycle officer and a member of their Golden Helmets. Wishing him and his family all the best and hopfully a full recovery!
NAW Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 It was a busy day in this neck of the woods today. I thought it was living in the city! Must have had 8 EMS vehicles FLY by my house today. Speed limit is 50, and I swear just after the goose insident, there was an OPP cruiser going at least 160 by my house... I didn't watch the news till tonight to find out what was up... Something else must have happened in the hood. Because around 1pm, elmvale fire came bombing by as well..
Ralph Field Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 Hope the officer makes a complete recovery. The goose must have been taking off to be flying that low, but the officers recovery is what's really important.
bigbuck Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 My prayers go out to him and his family. Dumb luck, that is all it was.
DRIFTER_016 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 Can't imagine hitting a goose on a bike. Had a buddy almost lose it when a sparrow hit him in the shoulder and blow his right hand off the handle bars on the highway.
chris.brock Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) I hope the guy is ok, and makes a quick, full recovery I've had a 2 wheeled, licenced vehicle for the last 20 years, and I don't see the point of the OPP riding bikes, they are dangerous and those Harleys have no advantages compared to a standard cop car, if he was in a crown vic, it would be a crack in the windshield, that's it I guess what I am saying, is the toys (motorbikes) should come on their own time and on their own dime regardless, I hope he is fine Edited June 27, 2014 by chris.brock
porkpie Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I'm surprised it took almost 12 hours. Thats some kind of record.
fishing n autograph Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 He is stable but lost his leg. He wasn't on patrol hr was headed to Orillia for training with the ceremonial motor cycle unit
John Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I was in the car returning from West Arm Nipissing and hit the detour. Didn't know what the issue was until I got home. Prayers out to the officer and his family.
Big Cliff Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Posted June 27, 2014 He is stable but lost his leg. He wasn't on patrol hr was headed to Orillia for training with the ceremonial motor cycle unit Glad to hear that he will survive. When I saw the bike it was in the South bound lane, no wonder it was such a mess, it must have gone over the guard rail! Just heard on the news that there was another bike accident right in the same area again today. Another goose perhaps?
