Early this morning about 6 of us got together to go for an ATV trek through the woods. In the first 100 yards of riding one of my friends (Keith) skidded across a frozen road and hit a tree. We called 911 and the ambulance took him away. Yes, he was wearing a helmet and protective gear.<br /><br />Keith broke his back in 2 places and has a fractured skull. Please say a prayer for him and his family. Keith has a wife and 4 children and could use the support.<br /><br />Thank you.<br />Bob :(

Thoughts and prayers go up to God from the Speck family for Keith, his family, and friends.

Prayers granted Bob. Sorry to hear about the bad news. ATV accidents are on the rise big time. Last year, I lost my dentist to an ATV flip over. 2 months ago two friends were going down a country road, one stopped short and the other ran over top of him. He is now paralyzed waist down. Then friday night a man was at the ER with a crushed shoulder due to slamming into a tree.<br /><br />Sure hope Keith pulls thru with no lingering after effects.

Update- Well Keith was transferred to a better equipped hospital and his family has flown in also. His back is actually broken in 3 places and additional facial fractures were also found in addition to the skull fracture. <br />Hopefully they will get him out of ICU so his friends can visit soon (we are all very anxious to show our support).<br /><br />The helmet Keith was wearing is only skuffed and not damaged. We suspect that it may have too loose and moved on his head when he hit.<br /><br />Keep the prayers coming and thank you everyone for the support.<br /><br />Bob

Coming your way Bob and please, keep us informed.<br />We all might not agree on a lot of stuff, but we are still a family.
