Ron and Dorothy Strasser
I was in the next start group behind you guys and did not see the crash (
just you picking yourselves up), but because of where it took place, I would
imagine the person hitting you from the side probably hit something himself
or for some other reason was thrown into you. It was soft in that area and
there were pieces of rock etc. Hope you heal quickly.
