Amy Gluck hit by a semi
Quote | Reply
A friend of mine was hit by a semi this weekend near my house. Her name is Amy Gluck. She's a top female age grouper. Multiple trips to Kona and age group wins. She is currently in critical condition in a medically endured coma at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. She a very strong person and could really use the support of the community. Please keep Amy in your thoughts during this tough time.

ADMIN EDIT: *Attention* SOAS Racing is holding a fundraiser with 100% of proceeds going to Amy Gluck. "We <3 Amy" wristbands $10. http://shop.soasracing.com/...-love-amy-sweatband/

That is rough. I hope she pulls through.


"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

Northwest suburbs of Oakland county. Ortonville/Metamora area.

I did get an update that she is moving her extremities. The swelling is still really bad and they are waiting for it to go down to see the extent of the damage.

Sad.... must have been the wrong place at the wrong time. Very big blind spots with trucks and I am guessing Amy was in one. When I drive the firetruck or when i used to drive a 36' box truck you always have to be aware as a driver. Especially after passing someone running or biking.

Hope she comes through with limited issues. This is why I never ride/wait next to a car or truck. I always ride behind or in front so that I can watch for brake lights/blinkers and hopefully see the vehicle turning into my way.

Edited my post- posts keep getting deleted about the accident and I don't want to get anyone in trouble.... but I don't think that is what happened in this accident. I agree- be careful around trucks, but from the limited information available right now, it appears that this is not what happened in this incident.

My mom lives in Ortonville. Whenever I visit her, I think that it'd be both a great and a terrible place to train since the roads seem pretty open but there are zero shoulders and the cars go flying by at 55+ mph, which makes me worry about how considerate they are to cyclists or if they're even aware of them. I hope that your friend pulls through.

This could have been any one of us - something that I'm more aware of now days having had a bike crash earlier this year which left me in hospital. I was VERY lucky. But Amy not so much. That's the dice we roll every time we go out.

All the best Amy, and hope to hear you're doing doing a lot better by the time you might read this thread.

I here a lot of bad cycle stories from my friends on the east side. There seems to be a lot of anti-cyclist anger over there.

I read that as well, but whomever wrote that also wrote that they weren't sure if he was wearing contacts or not. My license says I need glasses, but I am always wearing my contacts, hence I'm technically not 'wearing my glasses.'

Being an eye doctor, it would be very easy to see if and when the driver of the semi ever wore contact lenses. I'm sure the personal injury attorneys can do this, but the drivers last 2 or 3 eye exams need to be reviewed. I will guess that the driver never had contact lenses but again, this will be easy to discover.

I've ridden all over northern/western Oakland county and, for the most part, haven't had many problems with cars/drivers other than the occasional whistle or verbal taunting. Most of the roads have no useful shoulder and more than a few are in poor shape. Even on the best roads, you can't take for granted that a gravel hauler, lawn care truck/trailer, soccer mom in an Explorer, or a kid on a motorcycle is going to see you in time & take caution when passing.

This applies to the Metroparks too - this spring my wife was passed very closely by a car of yelling teenagers at Stoney creek . You never know.

To me, riding the public roads comes with a certain amount of risk, and I'm ok with that. There are many roads I avoid and certain times during the day where I don't like to ride, because to me it's too dangerous. I would much rather be out in the countryside somewhere, whether it's Metomora, Capac, Armada, Davisburg, Fenton, or Brighton, than riding endless loops around Stoney Creek.

Northern Oakland county is a great place to ride. Genesee county, though - not a chance.

Best wishes to Amy and her family.

On May 30th 2009 I was hit by a van going 55 MPH almost exactly where Amy was hit. I went through the same treatments she has gone through so far. Induced coma, surgeries to repair broken bones, ear reatachment..... and on and on and on. I know what she is going through. I know what her family and friends are going through as well. This will not be easy but, I hope that she will come through it. It has been 3.5 years and I am finally through it. To any of her family and friends, it is possible to recover from this completely.

Here was the message I recieved:

Details: It was about 3 pm, Sat., Sept. 15, 2012. Amy was biking with Dave Pasco in Metamora (near Lapeer, MI). Amy decided to do an out and back portion without Dave while he waited for her at the car. She was heading eastbound and a gravel hauler (a long train-like gravel hauler) was heading westbound. Amy was wearing her orange Team Mongo jersey. So, the color was such that it would not blend with anything, but it was not neon either. The truck-driver turned left in front of her and hit her. He told the police that he did not see her. There was no evidence that the driver was texting & driving, talking on the cell phone & driving, drunk or high. His driver’s license did say he wore glasses & he was not, however I do not know if he was wearing contact lenses. Amy’s Garmin did not give any information that would help with determining what actually happened. There was a car that was behind the gravel hauler whose driver called 911. So, there was a witness. Dave Pasco identified Amy at the hospital. They called Amy’s mom as she was the I.C.E. (in case of emergency) on Amy’s cell.

My cousin happens to be the top neurosurgeon working with Amy. Dr. Steven Kalkanis is taking great care of her and says she is very strong and they are doing the very best they can with her. She is in a very difficult position but if anyone can help her it's Dr K. Top of class at Harvard undergrad and top of class neurosurgeons at Harvard. Amy has the best of care you can get. Plus she is stubborn and really pissed off about not racing Kona this October so watch out!! An upset Gluck is nothing anyone would like to deal with - trust me! And she's pissed off! :)

Thanks for keeping us posted on how she is doing and any up-dates. I do not know Amy, but dedicated my weekend of training to her and will continue to do so.

From boyfriend Dave Pasco "No words to describe the feeling. She is still in a coma but can still hold my hand." Very powerful picture.

Also, to support Amy in recovery SOAS has some very cool wristbands for sale. All procedes go to support her recovery.

My Mom grew up not far from there. It's tough riding in some of the more rural parts of Michigan. There are a lot of bad places to ride in Michigan due to the drivers and disrepair of the roads in general.

Condolences to her and her loved ones.

Its been a horrible year around my parts. (Buffalo,NY)

So many guys and girls went down hard. Seems more so then ever. Must be the nice weather had everybody out, drivers alike.

Actually had a women hit and killed by a motorcycle nearby......


Ride defensive! Consider everybody's going to turn into you, blow the stop sign, pull out, etc....Still cant run from the rear end!

Our thoughts and prayers have been with Amy and will continue to send positive energy to Amy from AZ. We will help spread the word on all fundraising opportunities to help Amy with the financial burden of this horrific accident. We will keep Red Rock athletes current on her status through our facebook page and will contact NotOneMore to see if there is financial assistance that they can provide as well. Who would be the best person for NotOneMore to reach out to with an offer for financial, legal and prayer assistance?

I have good news to report. Amy has been opening her eyes and is moving her arms and legs. She even mouthed hello. Sort of hard to do with a vent in your mouth when you haven't talked for 2 weeks.

Awesome. With any luck, she'll be back some time in the future.

I'm really sorry to hear about this. I highly recommend someone relay some info about the Raisin Hope Foundation (http://raisinhope.ning.com/) to the family. It is run by Saul Raisin, who went into a coma in a pro road race crash and emerged later. His foundation helps people navigate the recovery options and is a real source of hope for families of those who experience head trauma. I'm writing to him to mention Amy's situation.

When I talked to her 2 weeks ago she still has quite a way to go.

She rememered me and looked through the pictures I had with me. She recognized the places in the pictures.

I haven't seen her walk so I can't comment on that but I've heard the rehab is going well. Still I think it will be several months before she leaves rehab.

There is a benefit for Amy Gluck this Saturday.

Please join us for a screening and talk at Schoolcraft College. This will be a benefit for Amy Gluck who is currently recovering from a terrible cycling accident last fall.

What: Amy Gluck Benefit screening of the documentary film, The Road to Ironman, and silent auction.

In the fall of 2008, 7 good friends signed up for Ironman Louisville-only 6 would finish.

The smack-talk started seconds after the signup, but a terrible accident in May of 2009 forced everyone to question what they were doing, why they were doing it, and at times, should they do it.

The Road to Ironman is the powerful tale of that journey.

When: Saturday, January 26th, 1-5 pm

Where: Schoolcraft College - VisTa Tech Center. 18600 Haggerty Road, Livonia, MI 48152

Suggested Ticket Price: $20 per seat. Payable at the door.

All proceeds to benefit Amy Gluck!

Tom
