Pit Stop

Reported by: Rev. Patrick Hodynski, F.O.R.C.E. Philadelphia
Today, Thursday, March 7th a young man was taken to Frankford Jefferson hospital due to his dangerous, and illegal riding of his “Pitbike”.
The young man was operating his bike in an unsafe fashion around the Arrott Terminal when he broadsided a car, he lost control and smashed the forks of his bike, and broke his leg. He was transported to Frankford- Jefferson with an expensive life lesson.
The car suffered only a broken hubcap.
Hopefully, this tragedy will make some others from the same fate.
