Bad news on the Hawley front. The man who once described himself as a "Jack Russell terrier on crack", Mark Etzkorn, the shipping overlord yet the warmhearted patrician loved by all was involved in a nasty accident yesterday morning. Although details are sketchy at this moment, Mark was riding into work when he was struck by a vehicle. He lay in a ditch unconscious for about an hour before he came to and was able to phone for help. As of this writing, Mark has some cracked bones and is getting a lot of tests done at the hospital. Over a year ago, Mark drove into work everyday. Now, he's one of the strongest bike commuters we have, averaging about a 50 mile roundtrip from his house to work and back again. The lunatic who hit Mark and fled the scene and the resulting carnage is yet another tangible, human reason why we need more bike lanes, more awareness from drivers and more enforcement of traffics laws from the po-po. Everybody here at Hawley wishes Marky Mark a speedy recovery as his Funky Bunch is currently a rudderless ship! Be safe on the roads this weekend fellow bike riders.

Whoever hit him needs to be publicly humiliated via the double down sandwich. Get well soon!
Thoughts go out...
The fuckwit who hit him knows he hit a cyclist...it'll become public.
Get well Mark...
Get welL Mark, that sucks for sure. our thoughts and prayers are with you!
man, it sucks to read this... best wishes for a speedy recovery from the other side of the state line... hopefully the culprit (and that's putting it mildly) will be apprehended and incarcerated w/ a rather large, burly inmate named bruce, who has a fetish for cowards.
