One of our friends seriously injured by dumb@ss turning into KFC in Elmhurst, IL

The collision occured at: 609 W Saint Charles Rd, Elmhurst, IL

As posted by T-pole on ChicagoRiders.com
Matt got into a pretty bad accident tonight. He just made a turn, so he didn't have much speed. A car turned into a KFC right in front of him.


Aimee said that he had a fractured arm, and fluid (blood?) on the brain.


Everyone, keep him in your thoughts, he's in the hospital right now, not sure how long he'll be there for.


2 pics I got with my phone.







They completely shut down St. Charles West bound, and the cops were laying into the driver of the SUV pretty good. Actually sounded like they were on our side for once.

Additional pictures from an on-site photographer (probably Police photog or local press):








Update


Matt has been moved from one hospital to another, and the bleeding in his brain has slowed. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers folks!

Update 8/6 @1:04PM


From NikkiRR:
[He is breathing on his own now!] He is off his sedation medication now as well. He is still sleeping, but can talk a little bit. Knows where he is but doesnt really remember what happened. Keep those thoughts and prayers coming!
