Get better Joe Hailey

Last Saturday, March 30, in Langley BC (Canada), veteran cyclist Joe Hailey was involved in a crash at the finish of a race. The crash involved several riders in a sprint finish of the C group at the Spring Series Road Race. Three riders were left unconscious with Joe Hailey being airlifted from the race site to Vancouver General Hospital.



Two of the people involved in the crash had broken bones and concussions but are expected to make full recoveries. Joe Hailey is currently in Neurological Intensive Care Unit 1 in critical but stable condition. He is expected to remain in ICU for at least another five days.



Joe Hailey has been a fixture on the BC road and track cycling scene for well over 20 years. Escape Velocity Cycling Club wishes Joe a speedy recovery.
