Bob Corfield mentioned it briefly on FB, but I wasn't able to read the article he linked to.  :sad:

Here are the updates I received from Bob Corfield:

Charlie, these are the 2 updates i got.  He is doing a better.

I got an update: the accident happened in Lancaster.  According to police and witnesses a car turned left in front of him and he struck the car.   He was life flighted to the hospital and Cathy was told he was very fortunate to be alive. He is awake today and talking, alert and aware. He has no memory of the accident or flight…. Cops offered to criminally charge the driver and provide all needed paperwork for a civil case.  The cops have the bike and his wallet was found. He is going into surgery now. Ortho stuff is first.

Today’s update from Amy, Harry’s daughter :

That's great! Today is going very well. My Dad is talking a little more. He is now on some more pain medication. So, he currently at this time is experiencing very little pain. They gave him thickened liquids and some soft, pureed foods.  Physical therapy was recently with him and that had him stand up twice! They are still monitoring him for bleeding and infection and watching his blood pressure. Otherwise according to xrays the surgeries were all good

Here's the latest on Harry...

A BDB club member was by Christiana hospital and stopped in to visit Harry. He is out of ICU and in a regular room and he is allowed to have visitors. He was reported to be in good spirits, but banged up badly. Harry had no memory of the accident or flight.
