Steve's not doing so well (the rider of the R1 that was struck by the van).

Steve has several broken ribs and toes, already had one toe amputated.
He made it through the surgery to have a sliced aorta repaired, now he has a chance that he'll live.
The next big step is to determine the extent of spinal cord injuries.

Steve is apparently trying to move his arms and legs, which is good news. They still have him strapped down and sedated so that he doesn't injure himself more by moving.

As of yesterday, Christmas, his family was still by his side. He is still sedated to the point he is unable to speak of recognize anyone.
The fear is that there was significant injury to his spine and neck.

Please keep Steve and his family in our prayers.

Below is a small collage of pics of Steve courtusy of Kevin (his best buddy & riding partner).
