Geez Rubin,
Is she OK!??
Darn, those things happen......
How'd it go down...the accident.
Avoiding a car? Or,?
We learn from these things, all of us.
Sorry, I don't have any body parts.

You folks take it easy....thinking about you.

She is okay. She cracked her right shoulder and scraped the top of her right ankle ( no boots her decision). 

After weeks of riding in the neighborhood and a big parking lot, she decided t venture into the real world with me.  Yesterday(1:15PM), we were riding with a local scooter club.  A go light was changing from green to red, she thought that I was going through the yellow light.  I didn't.  She panicked, she hit her brakes hard and locked them.  I guess the back of her scooter lifted because she said that she went over the front of her scooter.  She had glancing blow on her helmet(where a person's hairline starts) landed on her right shoulder and skidded. By the time I heard screeching of the brakes and sound of the scooter being laid down onto the asphalt, I see my wife skidding past me into the intersection on her back.

First question out of her mouth was: Is my scooter okay?

Paramedics and the police came.  She went to the local hospital ER and was discharged about 2:30 PM.

When I pulled my 300i off the main road onto the side road, I kick the side kickstand down and the engine turned off but the lights stayed on.  I ran the battery down, So the scooter tow company ended up towing Anne's scooter and my scooter to Moxie's

BTW John said to tell you hi.

Hope she's OK Ruben!
And I hope this doesn't make her skittish about getting back on!
These are the learning experiences that make us better and more cautious riders in the future! Even the most experienced rider in the world can have a slip up.

Let her know the folks here on the forum are thinking about her!  :)
