Motorcyclist Injured in Alleged Drunk Driving Accident


Posted on Dec 22, 2008

Warren Weaver, a 31-year-old mechanic with Moto Virginia Vespa/KTM, injured his foot when an alleged drunken driver collided into his motorcycle.  His foot was pierced with a peg and all five toes were broken.  His motorcycle was tossed into a pasture and Weaver was thrown into a ditch.  His foot is now bandaged and braced.  All he wants for Christmas is a good left foot.

“I remember getting ready for the ride, putting on my jacket and gear, and that’s about it.  I really don’t remember much until they released me from the hospital a few days later,” Weaver said during his interview with the reporter, while he relaxed in the backroom of Moto Virginia Vespa/KTM on Preston Avenue, where he is employed.

The information Weaver has about his November accident came from police reports and second-hand news.  After he was hit, he was transported to Rockingham Memorial Hospital and later taken by helicopter to the University of Virginia Medical Center to treat his concussion.  Weaver was in an altered state of consciousness.

According to Weaver, he was never unconscious, but he wasn’t making sense.  He does remember that his protective gear saved his life during the motorcycle crash.  Weaver is an experienced off-road, on-road and over-the-road motorcyclist and was wearing his jacket that had elbow, shoulder and back protection, knee guards, gloves, boots, a kidney belt and a full-face helmet.

Weaver has had to take antibiotics as his toes heal, he has had surgery and extensive medical attention.  In addition, he will most likely have to endure skin grafts to close the hole in his foot.

Throughout his entire ordeal, Weaver has kept a positive attitude.  He said that he doesn’t want to focus on anything negative about the other driver.  Weaver also said that he was going to be fine, it was just his foot that was injured.
