Wow, I can't coolclick him so I'll give one to you to pass on

Damn that is rough....Hope all goes well for him with this....Thank goodness he is not dead and lets all hope he does not end up paralyzed for life...

It is possible he just did it on a last second thing not realizing how close he was to the edge or how far down it was....Wonder how fast and close to him the asshole in the truck was

Does anyone have a picture of the bridge? I just can't understand how it could happen, I mean how narrow was the bridge?

If the bridge was so narrow that there was no room for pedestrians and had no pavement then why was he running on it?

And if it was that narrow then surely you'd be well aware a truck was coming up on you?

Things just don't add up for me to be honest

Lets hope he gets through ok. Wow that must have hurt.

I hope so also. My best wishes for Kelvin.

lol I'm just picturing you walking into his hospital ward carrying the cool click sign and passing it to him saying 'please accept this on behalf of Bilbo Baggins',

He'd be like 'WTF

? Nurse, NURSE!!!'

The fact that he could walk and hail a car means hopefully they can heal the back and neck and stabilize it and he will be fine later. Similar thing happened to Vinny Pazienza. And he did come back to fight. But in this case, the fighting is a second thought. I hope he recovers and is healthy.

I don't know what the fu*ker was thinking, I mean I've driven over that bridge a hundred times... the footpath is about 1.5 meters wide at least. I wonder if he knows that we drive on the left side over here?

Anyway hope he recovers soon!

You know something as crazy as that sounds he may not have realized he was on the wrong side of the bridge and panicked

?.....Thinking the other guy was out of control or something...

Here's some interesting video of the news report out of NZ with footage of the accident site. Hope he makes a full recovery.
