Edric Amparan is a guitarist and friend of mine who plays in a local band with two of my best friends.
Monday night after a band rehearsal, Edric was hit on his motorcycle by a driver who ran a red light. He's now unresponsive in critical condition in the ICU with multiple life-threatening injuries. (Brain trauma, crushed ribs, compromised lungs, and various other internal injuries.) Things are still very touch and go, and if he does live, there's no telling to what extent he'll recover. He was riding at night, in the rain, on a black bike and wearing all black leathers. And he was not wearing a helmet (they are not required in this state). Yes, the automobile driver ran a red light, but had Edric been more visible that night, I quite possibly would not be posting this.
Please be careful, bikers.
And if you're driving a car or truck, please watch out for bikers.
