Governor Ritter injured in early morning bike accident
The Governor’s Office released the following statement at 9:30am this morning.
Shortly after 6 a.m. this morning, Gov. Ritter was involved in a bicycle accident at 23rd Ave. and High St. in Denver. He is being treated at Denver Health Medical Center for several injuries. It appears he has multiple rib fractures on his right side.
The Governor rides with a group of friends two to three times a week, and this morning was with a group of four other riders when he and another rider collided. The Governor is in good spirits, laughing and joking with hospital staff and his wife Jeannie.
Well, can we finally get some legislation passed on full body required mandatary padding and air bags on bikes? It is about time. I am tired of waiting.
Furthermore, I will bet the Governor did have a governor on his bike. And I bet there will not be an investigation as to excessive speed. And how about alcohol? Was there a whiff of bloody mary on site?
