We were joined by 5 members of "The Italians" MC on our ride to Commack. The Commack gathering was impressive, 7 MC's and over 100 riders which as you know can be </div><div dir="auto">challenging, especially when riding etiquettes & techniques varies like potholes on the LIE. </div><div dir="auto">Upon arrival at the rally, word spread of a rider "going down" 25mins earlier ... without much more info. It turns out that rider was Brother Frank Fren riding his Trike involved in a collision with a car on the Sagtikos Pkway North. We learned of the accident approx 45mins later that he had suffered a compound break of his ankle and was taken by Commack Ambulance to St. Catherines several BKNY15 members arrived to find it was ad information and was taken to Stonybrook ... where we were warned of no entry or communications.</div><div dir="auto">At 9:15pm last nite I spoke to Sharon Fren who could not enter nor talk to Frank and as of 730pm Frank had still not be attended to, she and son John left the hospital.</div><div dir="auto">Tues 530pm again I just got off the phone with Sharon, still Franks has not been attended, wrapped or casted. Broken ankle+, but she has spoken via his cell ph, which is out of juice. Frank is is in pain but good spirits.</div><div dir="auto">I am making contact with John Fren shortly.</div><div dir="auto">More to follow.</div><div dir="auto">Dale</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></body></html>
