Larry Hujo, School Board Member Hurt in Motorcycle Crash

Late Saturday afternoon Larry Hujo was riding his motorcycle when he collided with a car in the area of Hunsinger Lane and Six Mile Lane.  The accident resulted in serious injuries for Mr. Hujo. 

Hujo was traveling down Six Mile Lane when the car in front of him made a right hand turn directly in front of him.  Hujo tried to stop by hitting the brakes but couldn’t stop in time and ended up crashing into the car. 

Mr. Hujo’s injuries on his right side that he had to undergo seven hours of surgery to rebuild his right elbow and right shoulder.  He also has seven broken ribs and a fractured kneecap.  He is unsure when he will be released from the hospital.  Mr. Hujo was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision but still feels his “guardian angel was with him”.  This accident could have been much worse for Hujo and his family.  There have been several motocycle fatalities this year in Kentucky.  Some of the victims were wearing helmets and some were not.  A helmet will add protection but will not always save a life or prevent serious injuries.

This is another example as to why all people traveling on the roadways need to be fully attentive to their surroundings.  Motorists, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians are everywhere.  Checking twice is always a good policy.
