Woman seriously injured in motorcycle crash
A motorcyclist was hospitalized Saturday night with serious injuries after colliding with a pickup truck on River Road near McClure Lane, the Eugene Police Department said.
Cailin Thompson, 20, was riding a Honda motorcycle north on River Road at about 7 p.m. when she collided with a Chevrolet driven by Victor Briggs, 61, who was southbound and turning left onto McClure.
Thompson, who was wearing a helmet, was transported to Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend. Her condition was not immediately available Saturday night.
There is no indication that high speed or alcohol was involved in the accident, police said.

Ok, im gonna assume you are talking about something on her facebook page lol. Im at work and cant go to that link, so that sounds totally creepster to me right now :hump :laughing:

Anyways, hope she recovers quick. Who knows, maybe she got lucky and her injuries are relatively minor. Lets hope.:redface:

[FJMam]

Thanks Prgrss for posting the Facebook thing. I work with one of her buddies and he didn't know she had been hit.
I'm told by another co-worker that she is in very bad shape and may not make it.
I hope to find out more tomorrow about her condition and if there's anything we can do for her or her family.

that sucks. someone turning in front of me is one of my worst fears. I usually hit my brights and aim straight for their car for a second or two a good 150-200ft away, just to get their attention. then i slow down and try and anticipate a quick right hand turn to avoid a t-bone. hope to god i never have to deal with that.

Yep.. I had several close calls, involving motorist not looking, and then turning directly in front of me. With the last close call, I had the option of hitting the side of the car, which came to a complete stop, blocking both lanes of traffic, or squeezing between it's front bumber and an oncomming vehicle. I chose the later, which worked out, but would have been much worse had I not been able to pull it off. It was after that week that I got the Mohawk for my helmet, which believe it or not, seems to help, at least a bit. No matter how much you weave in your lane and flash your lights, some people are just oblivious, especially older folks.

Let me know what you find out. I was thinking of sending some flowers and a card for her and her family?

[Wordamous Prime]

On topic, I too wish her a speedy recovery:thumbup:

[prgrss]

oh yeah... i saw you the other day riding down hilyard. black ninja... pink mohawk. nice.

... and then you did a huge wheelie and a bunch of hot girls where chasing you on foot...

same thing happened to me a while back...

[Stacya_250]

Ok so this town is to small!! Yesterday I was at my dads and this guy was wanted his van fixed. got to talking with him he asked if I had herd about the wreck. Turns out he sold her the bike! He was beating himself up about selling her the bike.. She even took the team Oregon class. and her dad was with her when she got the bike.

[Xusia]

[Stacya_250]

I know I was really lucky. And really not every one gets that lucky! :angel: I know most of us have had stuff like this happen. I have been with the group for a year now and if some thing like this was to happen to me I know I can count on the people in the group to for support and caring. (well tigerrider would probably dog me and ask what I think I did wrong)..lol

But from what I know she is still in ICU. As for her condition i dont know.

[blonde]

the girl that went down is still in the ICU she has been there since May 9th don't know her condition. If I hear I will update you. I will check next week to see if she is still there.. Ride safe:yes:

[blonde]

No problem she is still in the ICU as of today still not sure of her condition at this time..


Thanks for the update. :angel:

[FJMam]

This looks like we should be praying for recovery. I wish we could find a way help.

Thank you again.

maybe there is fj... alot of folks seem to be interested in this gal. maybe a ? dollar ride around town? something? theres always the man/thong wash idea. several new dudes here now. maybe a man thong bike wash and ride after??

[Stacya_250]

Hmm NO guy thong wash.! Icky! But some form of fund rasier is a good idea.

im thinking our taser guys could do this. i mean, how awful could washing motos in a thong be compared to getting popped with a taser?? real men volunteer to get tased and wash bikes in thongs! :bow: :rad: :phatyo:

[FJMam]

gawd Jen,
you're a letch!!!!!

Problem is we don't know how to contact the family and express our concern. Blonde is working on it.

[Stacya_250]

I would rather get tased than see guys in thongs! At least the pain goes away but see a guy in a thong would tramitize for life!! Lmao

[wesleyw]

I'm with stacy on this one, I'd rather avoid men in thongs at all costs.

[nvoelsch]

Wow, not going to touch the thong thing... a bit off topic and icky.

However, I'd be interested in helping out some other way...

[YOMAMAR6]

im going to get my rinstone thong out or my custom make front sponge thong just for bike washing :lol::lol::lol:

[Stacya_250]

NO ICKY !!!!! That's just wrong in so many ways! And stay away from my bike! LoL

[nvoelsch]

Ok, back on subject, have we heard an update yet? I am curious.

[Stacya_250]

My wife gave fjmam the number to the hospitle. But I guess I can call tomorrow? And see if she is still in icu. With all the privisy isues now days they can't say much.

[wesleyw]

See if you can find out if she is accepting visitors...I know Ron and I would stop by maybe wednesday or thursday...

[Stacya_250]

Ok I will. I know the family will need any help we can give. My short time in the ER was over $14000 so if she is still there the cost will be huge

[FJMam]

I apologize for not doing anything with the information. I've felt awkward persuing this since I have no direct connection with Cailin Thompson and my co-worker hasn't been successful (if he tried) in contacting the family.

I think it would be great if we could help then in some way. Fund raise at bike night? I can offer $20.00 to start things off if someone wants to collect, or I could.
If there's a Facebook member that can use her sight to reach her firends and family that might work.
PM me or Stacy if you have thoughts or ideas.
Worries me that she hasn't recovered. So young and her first bike.

[blonde]

With all the privacy laws the hospital can't give out information about Callie Thompson the only thing that they can tell you is the room she is in and go up and see if she has family up there and go from there. the hospital number to call is 222-7300 and if anyone is interested in helping out then another thing to do is call the hospital at the same number I just listed and ask for the house supervisor and see what they have to say about getting some fundraiser going for her to help with her bills. Thats all that I can suggest at this time I can't do anymore than that do to the Hippa. I hope that this will help for the ones that really want to get something started.

[Stacya_250]

Ok I called today and got the nurses station. I was told the right now just family but to call back next week and she maybe out of ICU. I will talk to papa's and see what we can do there also.

[FJMam]

Thanks to both of you.

If we get this together pinned down I'll get the infor to my Co-worker and maybe he'll get his firends involved.
I won't be able to make bike night but D will go.

[FJMam]

AT this point it seems that we really can't go any further with this endeavour.

It's great that so many want to help but out of respect for the family and friends of Ms. Thompson and the fact that we haven't been able to make contact, I think it best that we just send our healing thoughts and prayers to them.
If anyone hears anything new from other sources please let us know. Otherwise we can only be there in Spirit.

thanks

[r6speed]

Ok its been awhile anyone know anything?

[FJMam]

Nothing new.

[roadrunner]

danke

[FJMam]

bitte

[Xusia]

[Triplespeed]

[roadrunner]

[FJMam]

After the family requested "no contact". I left it alone.
I haven't read or heard anything in the news either.

Maybe google her name?

[roadrunner]
