Cyclist seriously injured in Berwyn

I don't have much information other than what's in the story:

Thursday, someone who knows the rider posted on a local FB page that he was still in ICU.

This happened 2 blocks from us and we go through that intersection virtually every day whether driving, walking, or biking. In fact, my daughter and I passed through there on our tandem shortly before this happened. It is one of my least favorite intersections to ride or walk through. The City of Berwyn installed a red light camera there due to the high number of accidents, but it only monitors 26th street, not East Avenue.

Thoughts and prayers for a complete recovery

He's currently at RIC in Willowbrook.

From the Justin Carver Facebook page, posted April 17th:

Justin's Physical Therapist sent these photos of him in the "stander", a device which holds his legs so he can stand up. I love that he's wearing all of his Raiders gear too. He looks great!

Yes, he's at RIC in River North. An update from Feb. 20th:

Today Justin was cleared by the orthopedic surgeon regarding his leg and scapula/clavicle fractures. This means his fractures have healed enough that he can can weight bearing activities on his left leg and arm.

He is learning how to sit up straighter during physical therapy and he's also sitting up straighter in his wheelchair. He also got to try standing up during PT, which he was able to do with a lot of assistance from the therapist.

We also went to canine therapy tonight. The dogs performed on an obstacle course and Justin got to pet a Golden Retriever named Max and a Bernese Mountain Dog named Bernard.
