of the severity of the injuries we ended up transporting them all the way to the border. Here you have some examples:
-- North of El Rosario, on Highway 1: a couple was riding a motorcycle southbound when a cargo truck, in a curve, invaded their lane and ripped off
all flesh and muscles from the leg of a lady riding in the back. Driver lost control and both ended up on the asphalt with several contusions and
broken bones.
-- South of El Rosario, on Highway 1 on a curvy area: Rider was driving southbound and on a curve a semi trailer invaded his lane hitting the
motorcycle left mirror, sending the driver of balance and rolling over the asphalt. He resulted with several fractures and shattered bones in his left
leg, plus contusions all over his body.
-- South of El Rosario, on Highway 1: a motorcycle driver, around 60 years old had a CVA (Cerebrovascular Accident) loosing consciousness while
driving and rolling over in his motorcycle.
-- South of El Rosario, on Highway 1: a motorcycle driver going south bound suddenly encounters a cow on the Higway and crashes with it, sending him
off the highway, ending up with 7 broken ribs, fractured femur and several contusions all over his body.
-- South of El Rosario, off road: a group of three friends were driving on some roads towards the beach, when suddenly, after coming out of a curve,
they encounter the only truck in 50 kms around that was transporting cattle in that area. Out of three drivers one of them was unable to avoid the
truck and ended up in a frontal collision. Driver suffered a fractured hip, broken femur, dislocated shoulder and several contusions all over his
body.
In this year and a half we have being doing our best to help people in distress around this area, we have helped in other motorcycle accidents, but
these are the most representatives.
I hope these examples help in someway BajaLearner.
