Word came from C&L management Wednesday that our own John Amato had been in a car accident. The email read, "Sounds like he was sandwiched between the Lexus on the right and some other bigass car on the left -- Lexus hit him, and then he slammed on brakes and hit the guy on the left, jamming his knee in the process."
While all of the staff here expressed worry and concern, we knew within an hour that Amato was in the hospital, stable, and having X-rays on his knee.
That's when we thought about the old car. John's old BMW is over 20 years old. As one staffer put it, "That's the fear I live with. Old car from the 90s, please don't hit me. Because anything will be a total."
By 6 pm we heard from the man himself:
"The Beamer is dead. Just had my x-rays waiting in hospital room. My patella bone is split in half so I have to get surgery so they can put it back together. Love you guys"
John will be in the hospital for a couple of days getting physical and occupational therapy. Then there will be the insurance nightmare to deal with.
The best way to send a good word to John at this point is to leave a comment on this post. I assure you he'll read them.
