Calling and Driving: Some Local Victims
Chris Stanley was bicycling on the shoulder of state Route 305 on Bainbridge Island in April when he was hit from behind by a car going more than 50 mph. The driver was reaching for her ringing cell phone and told police she never saw Stanley, who was knocked unconscious and thrown more than 80 feet.
Few thought Stanley, who teaches at the Art Institute of Seattle, would live. He was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center, where he had three surgeries. His injuries included internal bleeding, a collapsed lung, four broken ribs, a cracked skull and four breaks to his lower left leg. "I should have had brain damage. I had five bleeds on the brain," Stanley, 49, says.
