1976? The Crash of Mitchell.

(First post of the New Year 2008)
I found a little write up in a photo album yesterday and felt drawn to scribble a few blog entries listing family crashes - well, why single out Mitchell, when there are several others? Here it is exactly as writ:

March 23rd.
Mitchell very nearly killed himself .
Mitchell, third in a line of four cyclists, decided to cross to the other side of the road. Penny Doreen Ross, who was driving Roger Dale Ross' 1975 Cougar, had not anticipated this very original move and ploughed straight into the back of him.
Mitchell suffered a lost tooth, two other teeth loosened, a cut lip, a suspected broken leg, considerable shock, damage to pride and hopefully, gained a very good lesson at relatively low cost.
Bike suffered a buckled wheel (scrapped), bent rear frame (repaired) and other damage.
Total cost: $475 + gas.
Place: Between Lantz and Elmsdale, (Nova Scotia) travelling south.
Car license: 39-09-79.
Insurance: Royal/BPA # A8401435.
RCMP: Constable Castonguay.
