Hey guys, i'm Dan one of Andy's colleagues, he is doing ok, in good spirits, mostly dude to the amount of morphine he is on....Phil our fleet manager has been in contact with him everyday and went to see him last night, although he was not in today so couldn't ask how things were. He appears, by all accounts to be very concerned about Andy and is making the effort to see that he is being looked after properly, which is good to know.....this industry doesn't have perhaps the best reputation for caring about riders an all. Me and Bones (for those that may know him) are gonna go see him on Tuesday as he could do with all the support he can get right now. The police estimate that the lorry involved was in or around 32 tonnes.....lucky is'nt the word.
Your well wishes will be more than enough for the time being i would say, not really sure what we could do atm apart from offer support in any way we can. The whole situation has sent a shockwave throughout the courier community....it's been all i thought of all week. It really is an awful thing and i can't even begin to think how Andy is feeling. As i said, i feel Phil, our fleet manager is very keen to do what ever he can to help out and see that Andy gets the right help he will inevitably need. I spoke to him yesterday and he said the recovery could be a very long process due to the severity of the injuries sustained. Again, considering, it's a fucking miracle he wasn't killed, he's one tough dude. A couple of our other riders, on the way to Channel 4, saw Andy's bike and said they've never seen such a wrecked ride.......The fact he is alive and talking an all, gives me/us all hope. I'll pass on all your well wishes and post back here once i've spoken to Andy in person, which in its self is something i thought i may never do again...be safe, Dan.
