From the comment files: Update on crash victim

Since few people check comments on posts more than a few days old, we wanted to highlight this here – an update this week on the motorcycle rider hurt in a West Seattle crash 10 days ago. “Sarg” wrote:

Visited Derby [Sunday], she was in very good spirits but not very hungry yet. Her foot, ankle and facial orbital surgeries are this week. She is very optimistic and talkative â€¦ that is a very good sign. Keep your prayers coming as our dear gal has a long road of recovery ahead of her. I would like to mention that she is in a room with another gal who incurred a m/c accident. Her name is Zoe and she is in much worse shape than Karen. Say a few words for her too. Thank you

My family and I know Zoe, and she needs lots of prayers. We’ll be praying for Karen/Derby (?) as well. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I’ve been checking comments on the motorcyclist’s condition daily; she’s still in our prayers – thank you WSB for continued reporting.

I’m glad to hear that she’s in good spirits and doing well. Must be odd to be riding one moment and in the hospital the next. I hope it’s not bad form, but as a motorcyclist myself I’m wondering if we can hear what happened? If she, or the people involved aren’t ready to talk I understand.

Sorry, comment time is over.
