This happened late last night, I actually drove past it on my way home and didn’t know what it was. Vlad may have a little more insight because this happened right on Pearse Road in front or near his apartment complex. Chris Lambert was involved in a bad bike wreck. He was airlifted lastnight to Albany Med in critical condition. I don’t have the full details as to what happened. I only got a little information from my brother, who was pretty good friends with this kid. As far as I know up to this point, Chris was in really rough shape and may not pull through. Everyone keep this kid in your prayers and lets hope for the best. ---

I don’t know this person but I wish him the best. Not sure why anyone would take the risk with a bike. It’s just not worth it. Even if you are a good driver, nutty drivers like Cossey are out there. ---

Around what time did this happen? I recall hearing some very meaty sounding bike getting onto route 7 and ripping through the first 2 gears (easily puts you upto 100mph) late into the night. I wouldn’t have heard a crash though. What bike was it? ---

It actually happened a little further up from your complex. Right at the corner of Trottingham and Pearse Rd. He was riding a Buell when he went down. From what i’ve been told, he’s still listed in critical condition and in a coma. It definitely sounds like its going to be a long road for him if he recovers. ---

Number one it sucks that this happened. Number two lets not use a thread like this to criticize what the poor kid was doing just to try and prove a point that one has no business talking about. Hope he gets better soon. ---

> [@Shawn96VR-4](#): > > Not sure why anyone would take the risk with a bike. It’s just not worth it. Even if you are a good driver, nutty drivers like Cossey are out there. Some things you enjoy doing are worth doing because the benefit outweighs the risk. Street racing and having a 600whp car is risky too ;D _Most_ of the riders know what the risks are and are fine with the odds (at least those that wear gear), and if not they learn the hard way. I don’t pray but I wish him best of luck, and I’m hoping he gets better. It must be hell for the family and I hope it doesn’t get worse. ---
