    Oh my goodness; that sounds so frightening. I'm glad things aren't worse and send all good wishes for a quick recovery.

    Wow - I'm glad she's (mostly) OK. I hope the driver gets at least a few tickets!

    OH MY G... What a terrifying experience. I would much rather be in a crash myself than witness my son be in one. Thank to the powers that be for just touching wheels - and good healing to your poor daughter. That road rash is going to be h*ll.

    That must've been awful to watch as a parent, knowing you couldn't do anything to stop it. I'm so glad she will be ok.

    I just hope the driver learned something from the experience and feels bad about it, rather than feeling defensive and "in the right."

    (And the helmet thing - I used to be pretty lazy about it for slow casual dirt path rides. Now I have a hard time not lecturing every cyclist I see without one, regardless of where or what they're riding!)
