OW! I'm glad he's going to be okay.
Did the wheel come OFF? Or just slip out on the curve?
He's lucky to have a friend like you.

Ouch! Sounds similar to my crash. My bike went out from under me when I touched the tire of the guy in front of me. I knew better than to get that close. I hope your friend is okay soon!

Ouch. Taking care of his bike was very thoughtful of you!

His helmet, like his bike, has nary a scratch. His new Oakley sunglasses with the Rx lens is toast and that's what caused the cut above his eyebrow.

Thank goodness that he only suffered a fractured cheek bone and jaw. It could have been so much worse.
The upside to all this is he gets to go shopping again for a new jersey and helmet.
