PR from Road 2 Recovery.
AutoTrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing rider Weston Peick underwent an extensive first surgery late last night at the hospital he was transported to after he went down and was hit by a following rider during the opening night of the 2018 Paris Supercross. Peick was heavily sedated to help relieve the extreme pain from his injuries and post-op surgeries. His first successful surgery was to fix the multiple nose, eye and other facial fractures including two breaks in his jaw and dual dislocation of the jaw bone from his skull. His injuries are extensive and very serious but the doctors have confirmed no brain or spinal damage has occurred, and he is expected to make a full recovery. Peick is now awake and under minor sedation to help offset the tremendous pain he is in.
The extended international hospital stay, two surgeries, and medically necessary assisted air transfer are accumulating towering medical bills that Peick’s international and US insurance policies will not cover 100% of. Road 2 Recovery’s board members have approved a grant to contribute to the funds needed to get Weston back home. The medical bills are projected to be far greater than his insurance and the R2R grant can cover. A R2R-Fund has been set up to get him back home.
Below is the link to Weston's R2R-Fund and attached is the complete press release with more details. Weston has always gone above and beyond for others in need, we hope that we’ll be able to do the same for him.

Tomorrow I will donate money.
It is already being discussed about the effectiveness of medical insurance, it is garbage. But if this accident had happened in the USA. The result would be the same ...?
I wonder what difference in insurance plans are between Weston and a guy like Ken Roczen who I'm sure racked up an astronomical medical bill with his arm injury. Bummer deal, but I hope enough people donate and pitch in so he and his family can focus on recovery and not medical bills. I have to think the moto community is large enough to make that happen.
Because that is how it looks like now.
