Wenatchee Washington Surgeon in Serious Condition After Being Hit Head On by a Car While on His Morning Bicycle Ride, Serious Injury Result from Bicycle v. Car Accident
Dr. Ed Farrar a Wenatchee, Washington orthopedic surgeon and father of professional bicycle racer Tyler Farrar was in a car v. bicycle head on accident last week. Dr. Farrar was out for his daily morning bike ride when a local security company vehicle approached from the other direction. The driver of the car dropped a clipboard on the floor, as he reached for it, he took his eyes off the road. The car drifted across the road on a curve into the oncoming traffic lane where it hit Dr. Farrar head on.
Dr. Farrar suffer very serious injuries, including 15 broken ribs and several fractures to his spine, which his doctors describe as a serious spine injury. Dr. Farrar is in critical condition at Central Washington Hospital. My prayers go out to Dr. Farrar and his family.
Dr. Farrar’s son Tyler races professionally with the Garmin-Chipolte team. Tyler is leading a charity bicycle ride for his father, called the “Rally for Ed,” Sunday November 9, 2008. For more information is available at the Wenatchee Valley Velo Website; requests for details on the ride can be made to wenatcheevalleyvelo@yahoo.com.
