keep your hands inside the ride

So I spent the day filling out forms for a direct report of mine that had an accident today. He was on the freeway and had his arm out the window resting against the outside of the door and his hand was holding onto the mirrors arm. No it was not a stone that hit him it was a S hook from a bungee cord ripped into his flesh and broke his arm. Seems it was kicked up by another car and pierced his arm mid forearm and nearly came out the other side. This was not a clean cut and the s hook was a tad rusty. So 80 plus stitches later and a broken arm without a cast he was sent home with his wife. They want to make sure a infection doesn't set in so no cast yet. Now I get to find a certified bio hazard cleaner to sterilized the front to the van.

Wait did I tell you he drove himself to the emergency room with a t shirt wrapped in tape around it.
