KONA 09 second casualty??

Another one bites the tarmac...






A release written by Potts’ agent Charlie Foltz stated that after impact, Potts slid “150-200 feet on grooved pavement. His helmet protected him from head injury, but Potts did suffer road rash and received stitches in his right elbow from doctors who compared the crash to that of a motorcycle collision.”

Immediately after the crash, Potts tried to pick up his bike and finish the race, but his Kuota bike frame was beyond repair. At that point, things got scary. Taken to the medical tent for observation, the release stated that Potts’ “vital signs dropped and his resting heart rate fell to 20 beats per minute, at which point he lost consciousness. EMTs responded immediately and Potts was transported to Northwestern Hospital where he had a CAT scan and X-Rays. Based on the evaluations, doctors concluded there were no broken bones or internal injuries and he was released from the hospital that evening.”
