GoFundMe Site Set Up For Injured Concord Bicyclist

CONCORD, NH — A GoFundMe.com site has been set up to raise funds to help replace the specialized bicycle of a local teen injured in a crash on Loudon Road in Concord on Friday night. Laura Upton Baker set up the site yesterday to help William Woods raise $1,500 to offset the cost of a new bicycle. Woods, a Concord High School student, was one of two teens injured on June 9, 2017, after a motorcyclist reportedly trying to avoid an allegedly speeding vehicle, plowed into the teens.

Woods and the other teen sustained injuries, the motorcyclist was sent to the hospital with critical injuries, and the driver of the vehicle was charged. Woods’ bike was also destroyed.

“It was a Specialized Hardrock Comp with disc brakes, shocks, killer tires and 24 speeds,” Baker wrote on GoFundMe.com. “He just put new brakes on it, a new chain, new tires, and had a complete tune-up done to the bike. New front and rear lights, new water bottle holder and bottle - this was Woodsy's project. He LOVED this bike. Now, not only does he have to heal from his multiple injuries - a dislocated shoulder that has been reset, a broken thumb on the opposite hand, and an ankle that has been shredded and will need surgery as well as other bumps and bruises - he also does not have his beloved bike when he IS able to ride it again.”
