Title: Michigan Member Hospitalized
Post by: mi-msta on September 05, 2014, 09:16:39 PM: I got a call from Chip Ashton today. Seems as though a car pulled out in front of him yesterday (Thursday, Sept. 4) on Telegraph Road near Southfield. The next thing he remembers is being transported in an ambulance to Providence Hospital.

Providence Hospital
16001 W 9 Mile Rd
Southfield, MI 48075
(248) 849-3000

I imagine he'll be there a few days since his injuries are very similar (actually a little worse :( [size=78%]) to what mine were in July - [/size]
i.e. 9 or ten cracked or broken ribs, one broken collarbone, one cracked collarbone, a punctured lung and several areas that have road rash on his hands and legs.

Please wish Chip a fast and complete recovery. I'm sure he'll be up for calls and visitors within a day or so.

Ride Safe everyone!

Gregg Mitchell
